A piece of history...and great for grip!

[Richard Sorin]

I just recieved a bulky package from the New Bedford Mass. area that contained a 45lb or so, hundreds of years old cobblestone that was part of the streets of that famous whaling town of old. The stone is polished by foot wear and originally part of the ballast used in the ships carrying the early colonists from England. Other than being prized as a part of history (the streets were torn up and re-paved in 1970) the bread loaf sized stone is a great grip tool. Just rough enough and perfect size to do all kinds of one and two handed pinchgrip holds. My plan is to train enough to get it with 1 finger and thumb pinch. It has a happy "new home" in the Grip Gauntlet area and will I hope be used and enjoyed for many years to come!RS

Captain,
Methinks darn nigh anything on this man's planet unfortunate enough to stray within the reach of thy steely mitts can be turned into a grip tool by thee!
But when thou bespeaketh "stone" and "whaling" in the same sentence, and within earshot of your loyal shipmate, Jeck, then ye have stirred the brew of two mighty vats and set this seafarer's soul a'whirlin'!
