Quoted text begins.soft wheel formed around the
harder flecks in the surface of the sculpture and let the compound cut

End of quote.
Hi re: polishing soapstone, yes i usually go to 600 grit on soapstone, then beewax w/heat, looks great.
i think they call that undercutting, when it has hard and soft spots, and the hard areas are left higher like oatmeal
