First Results
My sextant is back from polishing. Jack did a beautiful job making it look great. I can tell he spent some time working with it and it shows. I was hoping for a less than brand new look, so Jack suggested using the Pewter Wheel to clean it up, but not take it down to perfectly smooth.
Overall, the design on the brass showed up better than I thought, but the piece needs revision on my part. I can now tell what parts need deeper engraving on the pattern.
