I took mine out to 5000-grit also but did not realize as good a polish shine as you got. I guess I should have buffed it better.

Maybe there are differences in the material. I did nothing after the sanding, as I'm afraid I would burn up the surface with my Foredome. I got a foot-pedal somewhere, but have never used it.

But come to think of it; I did give it a good rub-down on my jeans before taking pictures.

Very old school. Love it. Fabrics, especially heavy cotton, leather and wool can give a great shine.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.
