I wish you to put the same shine on them when you'll get them finished. Adrian

Yeah, they're a work in progress because they're not yet done - photo was taken just out of burnish following a pre-polish cycle and they got a little beat up. Can't decide whether to pop them into polish, let them go for a while and see what happens, or put them back into medium.

Decisions, decisions...

Well ummm, I thought they was doing a purdy good job of shinin'. Turns out they're in H20. Truly my first thot was dat dey was in some sort of lacquer. I doesn't feel too smart rights abouts now.

HA! Just some Ivory Soap and water...

These were in 60/90 for a month, medium for 2 weeks, pre-polish for 2 weeks and then the burnish. They got pretty beat up in burnish. I put them back into medium grit yesterday...hope they don't disappear.

We shall see...this is my first attempt at Chrysacolla.
