Wow, beautiful stuff!

Coldworking is a necessary evil for me. I enjoy the initial grinding to reveal the interior, but doing all the additional polishing steps gets old. I would probably enjoy it more if I had a proper flat lap and wasn't doing all my work with grinding wheels.

Makes me shudder when I walk past there...

here's an end of month non-coldworked (unless you count sandblasting) african king bottle about 40 or so cm tall ...
