I sold a 45mm Montana that I made years ago, inspected it and found minor scratching. What was funny is that the listing mentioned the difficulty of working on scratches with Montana. I thought I should fix it. Since I needed to use 5 wheels to sand, pre-polish and polish, I should work on more than one cab. I ground a Horse Canyon and a Royal Flamingo to tag along.

After looking at the Montana at each step, the Montana still isn't scratch free, but close enough. I usually do better on Montana but a low dome is more difficult.

Collectible Howardite must have a rattlesnake pattern like this picture. As they say, 'close but no cigar.'

The Montana is very smooth. I just love the one in the middle, out of this world beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Montana is always tough but once you get it it's gorgeous.

The second one is absolutely amazing.
