That is some beautiful material and a nice shine. I'll be very happy if my batch looks anything like this!

Nice piece did you pre - grind that? no, not this one, just kept it going in 46/70 or whatever other coarse grit that was around. I know that when it's time to tumble obsidian, I'm in for the long haul.

Beautiful piece! 10 weeks too long for me. I'd want it done before dinner!

Great piece of mahogany, you got it so nice it looks like it's encased in glass.
