That looks awesome. Will you be face polishing it? The colors are amazing!

Oh good! I was hoping you'd say that. Please post a picture of it when it's done. It's gonna be a beauty.

I decided to make two heel pieces rather than trying to face polih it. It is in the saw as I type. It would have taken a long time to lap one face. Will have two display pieces instead of one!!
