Polishing is one of my favourite parts of the process. It’s the pay off for all the sanding (my least favourite part of the process). It’s a moment of instant gratification. And it means the piece is done, unless it needs some details burned on. In this case, it does need to have the eyes and the nose added with a burning pen. I use a white honing compound (which is really just a very fine abrasive) on a cotton buffing wheel. I often say that it’s like having your teeth polished at the dentist. Minus the mint flavour. #polishing #antlerart #antlerjewelry #bonejewelry #bonecarving
