I do hope so :) Happy you like my urchine, I'm trying to go deeper, and the smooth material helps me. I like and I prefer soft materials. Ben yes, it's clear, to tell the truth I'm trying to use burrs that are 'tired', with low speed. The problem with onyx and water is that I don't see what I carve. Everything is black and also using a soft pencil like 8B at a certain moment I don't see anything.. speed is about 14-15 one thing is sure, better water than dust, but I protect with a mask :) Ciao !
