When a tool has been sharpened, the oilstone should be wiped and the cover put on or the lid closed to keep away the dust of the workshop, which is often charged with particles of grit from glasspaper; if grit or other sharp particles lodge on the stone they will leave gaps in the next tool that is sharpened. An essential point is to preserve the original sharpness of the stone. A clean rag or cotton waste is preferable for wiping it after sharpening a tool, as shavings generally leave it dirty.
