I’ll admit since this is a proof of concept piece I got a tad lazy, but the pore filling overall was “acceptable”. As usual the corners could have used more work. Someday I will remember that for some odd reason, corners take 4 times longer to pore fill than the rest of the piece.
Mike, it’s not an easy process, but it’s well worth it. It came out nice and this is a fairly mediocre job (even for me). It could have used another padding session, but instead I chose to just rub it out with Tripoli grade rottenstone.
