Just finished this one and wanted to show it off because I don't think that I've ever gotten this good of a polish on Palm Root. A tip from a friend saying more time on the wheels and maybe the diamond paste on the buffer, I think. It begs one question, however. Can I do better? I don't know, but I'm going to try! Thanks for looking!
Too much walking shoes worn thin Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Wow! I'm learning quite a bit from this thread. I typically progress 1500-3000-15000 but I've not gone higher with any polishes with the harder material. I should get some other polishing compounds, I've got loads of those mini felt wheels for the dremel that I could use for the higher level buffing.

Be prepared for some hot fingers.
My fingers are always hot. I've got a TON of preforms I need to cut soon so if I still have fingernails by that time I'm sure I'll have the shiniest nails in my household.

RickB: Generally not very fast. Need to factor in time of day, size of coconut, wind direction, age & sex of bird, etc....

ukegal13: Hello Everyone! I live near Bodega Bay, CA. I'm new to the hobby. I'm finding rocks that interest me and are "pretty". May I use this forum, for rock identification?
