Good Morning!
Today is barrel checking day and one of the batches is a 1 lb batch of Mahogany Obsidian, Apache Tears, and the addition of the small piece of Rainbow Obsidian I had set aside for the pre polish and polish of the obsidian batch.
I think that this batch is going to be very pretty. There are 2 issues that I have learned something from. Both issues are ones that have to do with the loss of more than what should be lost.
Instead of 7 days in 60/90 and 7 days in 120/200 (lost a bit more mass here), it should be 4-5 days each stage (maybe in both 60/90 & 120/220). The smoothing is awesome, but I did lose more mass than I thought.
I started this batch in pre-polish this morning and will check again next Saturday.
As always
