Thanks to the Woodchuck Pro, this was easy to turn... mostly. Amazing how the heat can build up if you go at it aggressively.
Since this is my first tru-stone, I'm looking for some comments. I sanded it starting with 400 and going up the ladder to 1500 before jumping to micro mesh then polishing with white diamond on the buffer. In person under normal lighting it looks great. I've handed it to a few laypersons and they all say it's beautiful.
In full bright light with my eye closely inspecting every millimeter, it's good but is it great... I don't know. I see what appears to be very tiny, almost goose bump like, looking pattern. Carefully examining the reflections I can see an almost fiberglass like texture to the surface giving the reflections a very slight haze in appearance. I've tried sanding it over again twice but I always end up with the same results.
It certainly doesn't look bad or anywhere close to bad, but could it be better? Am I spending too much time examining this blank with a magnifying glass? Since I've never worked with tru-stone, I'm not sure what should be considered normal. Sometimes I stair at a blank searching for every little imperfection that eventually all I can see are the imperfections. Imperfections that no one else can see.
Not the best pic, but...
Thanks,
Dave
