Here's an option for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yorkshire-G...888331?hash=item283969364b:g:bUEAAOSwLcNZW0yb
Yes I did see that listing on eBay. It's not really a source in the US as I still have to pay shipping from the UK.

Try the Walnut Log Studio, it's a cool place in St Louis, read about it in the paper when we were at a conference there a couple years ago.

I have watched several youtube videos where it is used but not by anyone state side that I know of.
Raymond, I don't think Yorkshire Grit compares to EEE. With Yourkshire Grit you sand as normal though 200 then start with the Yorkshire. At the end you must remove all of the Yorkshire to added your finish. Basically it takes the place of sanding from above 220 with sandpaper. They do make a product called Hampshire Sheen which goes on top but it does not look as if it gives the shine of EEE or Renaissance Wax.
This is a pic of the top of a tin; I have all the ingredients (maybe not lemon oil) in the shop though the pumice and rottenstone I haven't used since the 80's.
My concern would be with high contrast woods, like walnut, that the dark would embed in the light and give it a muddy appearance.... but I haven't used it so..

Thanks everyone! Any Raymond, I might just have to try them both. One of my coworkers was in Scotland last year and managed to pick up some Yorkshire Grit. I just saw a Pecan bowl he turned and sanded with Yorkshire Grit. I have to try it now.
