Awhile back I scored some "Davis Creek" green obsidian (From Oregon)on a horsetrade....I than horsetraded three pieces of it to Nick(Idaho),plus one for myself,which he in return sent to his sister(New York) to get cabbed for me...(I wanted a larger cab made from it).. Well it's finished and will be in my collection soon(Oregon)...Isn't it a beauty....!!!! Thumbs up

For a newbe who has only tumbled and made some slab cuts and looking to buy his first buffer/polisher, "when he makes up his mind to spend the monies", I would think to get this quality I will buy something that has wheels that turn. I can't seem to make up my mind... (value vs. quality vs. needs) and... What was the progression of grit you used to get this? Thanks for any suggestions?

I will tell you this much, my sis has a Cab-King 8" 6 wheel cab machine and knowing her she took this to 20K polish after starting on the 80 wheel and calling me names before getting it to the 180 and progressing up from there LOL
