Nice piece, Ed. Just wondering if there was any particualr reason why you skipped the tripoli wheel? Already sanded above that grit, maybe?

Thanks Carole. I don't find any benefit buffing with tripoli on most of my work. I sand to 600 grit most of the time. But never less than 400. I use very little white diamond. Just enough to get the polishing process started and just enough wax to finish it. I don't care much for a high gloss finish. For me, it looks unnatural.
