Polishing work on the underside has started

ByKoen van Velzen 06-06-201009-02-2026

I made a spout out of a separate piece of granite , that later will be bonded to the rest of the upper part with epoxy adhesive. I matched its design to the rest of the underside, after which the polishing work could start: 10 steps from coarse to fine with diamond pads, from grain 50 to 10.000. A lot of work.

Nasty the first message about this project.
