NIIIICE polish!
I love kambaba, but gave up on tumbling it, because I cannot get it to polish (I use a rotary tumbler).
Can you share your methodology? Did you use a vibratory tumbler? What polish did you use? I'd love to be able to duplicate what you accomplished here.
Thanks in advance!

We did rotary with 46/70SiC to shape and the rest was done in a UV-10 vibe (120/220SiC, 500AO, 1000AO and AO Polish). Ran the 1000AO for a few days and still did not see much promise of getting a good polish. It finally started to come around in the polish stage. Al

Really beautiful batch! I just finished some Kambaba as well and it was the easiest batch I've ever done. Polished up so nice!

Thanks, Al! I feel a little better knowing you use a vibe for the finishing stages!
