  Hi guys,

  The monsoon season seems to have arrived early in Borneo. Have been hit by howling winds and torrential sheets of rain for the past 2 hours. As the sky was pouring down on me, I finished polishing these pieces (3 rosary heads, capsule beads etc). The lathing is still not 'crisp' enough, but it will be improved, and custom rubber sanding blocks (more like V and U-shaped blocks) will have to be used for precision-finishing the concave parts. Given a few more months and the likelihood of producing carved chess sets en masse will be a reality! :-) 

  Andy
