Re: Cyclonic tide
Thanks for the great support, a very challenging shape, I originally polished it with diamond, a good polish but then I tried super cerium on felt points, it worked better than 200k diamond, I like the reverse side with the step cuts the best, it shows the layers under the potch.

Woot!!! Congrats!!! Great piece! I wasn't able to complete a piece to enter this year. My eyes have been giving me problems.
