Final finish and surface prep on a pair of Washitas. I came up with a little hack for the granite surface plate. A thin strip on double sided tape on the perimeter keeps the sand paper in place and stops it sliding around. It also stops any slurry from sneaking in under the paper and let’s you lap with two hands. As long as you stick to the middle of the stone, everything remains nice and flat.
I finished these Washitas to 240 grit WD. They feel pretty aggressive. I’ve had the smaller Lily White for a while. The larger mystery Washita is a new acquisition making its debut after a two week soak in Simple Green. It’s got some red blush to it. Seems like a nice stone.
