The scene alone is nice, but your cutting is super sweet. Did you do that on a flat lap?

I have a Richardson style high speed dry sander that I do most of the flat work on. The bevels happen on a 8" wet flat disc on the end of my Cab King and the sintered wheels for the curvy part. I finish the polish on the 3000 and 12000 soft wheels then onto a canvas with 50,000 diamond paste. Better shine than I can get with the dry sander at 1000.

I have several large pieces of that material to slab, knew it was Owyhee, was not aware that this particular variety was called Deer Sky. Learn something every day! now if I can just keep from forgetting two things!!

Awesomeness! (party)

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thanks all y'all. I have had very little time to spend in the shop as the bride and I are selling our house and building a place to retire in.
Inspections tomorrow and then on to the new place. I really enjoyed getting to be with the machines for an hour yesterday...

Great work on the bevel edges, clean as a router! Al
