Tami posted some photos of the rough she got at The Rockshed earlier this summer, so you KNOW i had to have some. i did two three pound coarse charges for two weeks and then combined both loads for two weeks in 120/220, one week in 600 and two weeks in CPP.

i'm happy with the shine overall, but there are some pieces that will be destined to be do-overs.

thanks for looking!!

Nicely shaped, wonderful shine... you nailed it!
