woodmanVery cool. That's a fantastic piece. Is it from Arizona? What I should have said is I can't polish it with the equipment I have. Maybe it's time for more equipment. 
Later
Brent.

Brent. One always need more equipment. The grinder in the photo is Harbor freight and use diamond pads from ebay. water from squirt bottom. The grinder is a variable speed polisher. the wood is from the stinking water mountains of Oregon. |

Fresh off the polisher. this is a nice 10 1/2 by 6 inch slab of Stinking Water Oak. 2015 find. The colors are a bit unusual for the area.
