The first picture makes the cab look like a black hole distorting the grain of the wood behind it. The pattern in the cab fits the shape beautifully!

Thanks! I’ve been waiting to find a used Richardson’s buffer for polishing and finally decided I better just set up the end pad on the cabber. The added step certainly helps, this was polished with cerium on leather after a new 3,000 wheel.

That certainly did the trick! Beautiful polish.

Thanks! I kinda ran with the orb theme on the shape and dome, if I remember right the dome is about 10mm high.

It looks perfect!

Fantastic job on creating the round...the dome...and the polish! I immediately recognized that material.
