;D This one is so hard, it has taken me a while to even get it to this point! I thought I was as done as I could get and then I noticed I have some tiny scratches on the bottom edge I will have to take care of. This is a dark but colorful dinobone. I can't remember who I got it from but it was someone on this board. Still have the back to take care of also but it is just about there! Fran

I have worked this stone so long and it is the first bone I have ever done so, is it normal to show slight raised areas on the cab, outlining the cells in the cab when it is done? I only took it to 3000 diamond and still have not tried out the polishing pad for this machine. It is really shinny though! Fran

If that is the shine you have at 3000, can't wait to see what you'll have when you hit the polish pad! That stone has amazing depth Fran and it shows your painstaking work and eye for detail. Jo

Beautiful stone Fran. Yes it is normal for the cell walls to take on a raised effect from the differing hardness. Great job!!

Very Nice Bone Fran! I think it looks fantastic for being where it's at. Show us the Completed Cab when it's all done. Steve
