+1 on some pictures and an explanation of sharpening mill stone, maybe flattening is a better word?
Sharpening is probably correct, although dressing might be more so. I'm guessing something along the lines of whats described by these links:

Although it would be wholly unreasonable and impractical, I'd kind of like to build a medium/large old fashioned mill someday.. There is just something about them that appeals.
This of course means that I'm unreasonably interested in the details, like what sort of material is used in the stones (French Burr.. oooh we could hope )
