Dear Joey,

It is at least one order of magnitude harder to polish the grounds. I tried polishing wood and now totally understand the difficulty to have a smooth symmetrical ground.

I was weighting the ground way too lightly. In the future for overlay carved or hard stones with relief, I will rank the ground right after whether I like the design or not.

Warmly and shocked,
David
