Preform from radio - thank you! Domed to 600 on the cab machine, then finished by hand from 800-5000 over four days. 1500 or 3000, can't remember 4000 5000 Mirror mirror on the wall... Who's the shiniest of them all? (Answer = the Christmas tree)

Very nice! I LOVE how you showed off the shine with the tree. Do you know what it is? Royal Aztec Lace? It's pretty.

I'm not sure what the stone is - radio might now. Royal Aztec Lace was my guess too.

About 15 years ago I bought as much of an old collection as I could afford and that pre form was in the bunch. The old gentleman had some of the most fantastic things I have ever seen and some really should be in a museum!

micellularVery impressive material. The polish is something else. Do you always hand sand and polish? Thanks for showing. Brent.

Stunning. You obviously have a longer attention span than I do. Kudos on all that work.
