Jade Sink
« on: April 24, 2016, 10:52:24 AM »
Here is a jade sink Im working on and the steps involved. Currently at 200 grit until I drill the drain hole. Contemplating taking the rim to 10k and the bowl to 1500-3k going to judge that as I move forward.

Wonderful sequence of pictures, and it's already gorgeous. Man what a piece that'll be in a house.

Must really suck to have a piece of jade just lying around the yard big enough to make a sink out of!   :thumbsup:

Neat project.  Looking forward to seeing it finished.
