Nice shaping. BTW, if you ran in a 500 grit, then a 500 pre-polish will not really ads too much. Maybe a little because of the recharge and the softer stone, but the grit size is still the same. You need to get a little finer on the size. Maybe 500 g to 100 pre polish. Or, did I misunderstand?

They started in 80 , went 14 days recharged at 7 days, then 220 for 14 days with recharge at 7days ,and now they are in prepolish which is 500 for they'r second week . they have been with plastic pellets since the 220.
I will try and keep up to date pictures.I'll also try and get better pictures

Nice, wolf!!!! Sodalite is one of my favorite stones, and it looks like you've got a nice batch to work with. I don't recharge my 500 loads...just let 'em run for 2 weeks then head off to polish.
