Polishing a snapping turtle shell to a mirror finish by hand

[@M.L.Knotts]

But.... You removed so much of the natural detail

You should polish a coconut 🥥

WHY ?

[@Shamanscircle1]

I'm not showing this to my local snappers. They'll think their shells are underappreciated how you took most of the texture off. Honestly I feel insulted for them but the good news is they're scared of me so I probably wont even be able to let them know (they probably wouldn't care anyhow) 🤣

You sanded the scutes down not natural not pretty imo. The scutes are so thin you got to be careful of what just happened sanding down to the bone. Would love to see one polished, we usually wire brush the moss and algae off or leave it on then polyurethane of it, non yellowing.
