i just finished this one for Paul. it used to be a carbon fiber kiwi, now it is Corian Sun Kiwi :) hope you guys like it, i think Paul will.

edit: duh, i forgot the pics. i tried to take some artsy pics with the kiwi hanging on a branch but they looked like crap, so for now here are simple photographs until Paul gets his hands on it.

thanks everyone...glad you like it Paul. as for the tools i bought a buffing wheel and a disc/belt sander. it was much easier than using the protable belt sander i have been putting on its side and hoping it doesnt vibrate off the table while i have a knife in my hand..lol. the buffing wheel was sooo much easier to help shine up the bolsters.

Tony,

The buffing wheel has done its job in polishing up both the bolsters and the scale material at the same time and no requirement to tape off any areas :p

Keep up the good work.

Great work Tony. I like Corian Sun with polished bolsters a lot.
