Wowser indeed. I have a set of belts including an 8000 polish coming supposedly this week...but for some reason I think it will be quite some time before I can publish any photos of work in this class.
Just perfect...the material, the cut/polish, the whole enchilada.

What a shine, I just want to know how to get a seal on my rocks, it must be very difficult and my polishing is going to take a lot of learnin'.
