Those little changes in the color seem to relate to hard and soft spot in the material to some extent. lso it may explain the rough looking surface I'm getting, though I have yet to try and polish the surface yet These shots are with the piece soaking in mineral oil as it is far from finished yet. I really would be interested in seeing Paipo and Tama pieces in this stuff and hearing on their experiences with it as well. Guys? I Love the pieces you did timid.
