From hell and back, here's my little volcano in its present state, sans stem because I haven't done it yet. What an education. When I tried to buff it, the effect was instantaneous and dramatic. What a shine....except for all the melted spots. I tried so hard to control it but to no avail. Wow, that shellac is soft.

So here it is, repaired and sanded to 12k, but not buffed. I will continue tweaking, and will buff it when I've built my 5-gang buffer. I have a 1hp 230v motor just waiting to be hooked up.

That looks amazing. Very cool effect with the black going into the rustication like that. Beautiful pipe.
