When I finish? a cab I put it in a Riker box. I was searching through cabs and saw some cuts/imperfections not scratches where marked. I noticed a big dip in the bottom of the girdle on the same side. I then noticed the nose was misshapen. Additionally the girdle was pretty fat.
I'll take it off the dop, cut a diagonal from the nose to the bottom, redome and redo the girdle. I'm posting the before now. Sorry for the fuzzy picture. I could have ground around the girdle and redomed, but when flaws show up in the material there is no guarantee they will go away with additional grinding.

A lot of grinding and through 325. Dark rainy day so picture doesn't show a lot.

On the left side of the arc in the lower area there is a 1.5 mm pits/vug. I'm done with it.
