Hi Joash,
Well done and congratulations, a stunning piece of timber and a stunning piece of work to get it into that shape! I can see where 7 hours went, do you have any WIP photos?

Thanks for the comments:
I turned this piece, at Wandi Woodturners, and Mr. Ward was there, and he had these small sandpaper pads, he said they were 12K, 20K, 25K, and 36K: They honestly all felt like straight paper, but they managed to put a brilliant shine on the piece.
As for the last entrants, 2 of my pieces managed to make it into the top 10 in the last competition I entered, there was no First, Second etc:
Once again, thanks for the comments:

Well done Joash I think you did especially well to do it in 7 hours, I can take that long just for the sanding
