Title: Wonderstone polished display
Post by: GoodEarth on July 08, 2015, 10:25:39 AM

I finishes this 12lb piece as a gift using a 4" wet polisher. Came out great!(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/08/bca490093e295253a037816262c7911e.jpg)

 Big display pieces is a good use of that rough . Nice work it really makes the patterns stand out.

That is one good sized piece of wonderstone!  You could use that as a bookend the way it is.   :icon_sunny:

Love the colours and pattern. Looks great, and from the picture it seems you got a reasonable polish on it too.
Got some that finishes up water-like and others worse than Indian Paint.

The Polish came out pretty glassy. Took it to 10k diamond. I've developed a fair eye for picking the high silica pieces since my first time out there when I was 6!

I hardly ever cut that material. For some reason it has a bad rap and no one ever wants any...

Third rock from fun loved this material and made some great cabs.  It reminds me of him.
