i placed and order with www.cyberrockhound.com on 5/14. i ordered diamond pastes of 3 and 1 micron, or 8000, 14000 mesh. i had never heard of them before, and so i took a chance. 5 grams are only $10, so with shipping $27. i emailed them on the 5/22 since i had not received the package, and called them. nothing. then on 5/23, received shipping confirmation. 9 freaking days to ship.

then today, 4 days later, with 2 weekend days and a holiday in between, package arrived. still upset it took 9 days to mail, but oh, well. then i open it up. 5 grams of 3 micron, 5 grams of 1 micron, and 5 grams of .5 micron or 50000 mesh. i guess he felt bad for taking so long. either way, i am going to be a honing tonight!!!!!

i have 2 3x6 hand american leathers attached to basswood backing at home that has been awaiting this pastes. now i need another one. dang, another trip to woodcraft. poor me.

hopefully this stuff works out. cheaper than anywhere else i found and so we will see. i will take photos when i get home and post them up.
