    Default A silk purse out of a Sow's ear.

    This is a photo of a RG slab. Approx 1.4 x 1.2. The bottom is the same except that the measurements are less (as you'd expect from a a slab. I want to get rid of it, but I am offering an enticement. I am prepared to sand and prepare the slab for oiling and finishing. I will also do the finishing myself, using Hard Burnishing Oil before you take it away. The total cost will be $150.00 including all oiling and sanding to achieve a quality result. It should only take me a day to finish the slab so that it looks like this.

    I can confirm that the ugly bit in the first picture has indeed come up as good as the piece in the second (beautiful).
    Thanks Rob!
