How To Polish Abalone Shells Like a Pro! Contour and Level Polishing Paua, Pink, & Midas Abalone!

In this one we tackle a subject I have covered before in the past, how to polish abalone shells! I wanted to readdress a video that I made a looooong time ago(Literally my second video) and that one is rough; let's just say my videos have gotten MUCH better in the three years I've been doing this and this is a subject that deserved to be done justice! We take three different species of abalone(Pink Haliotis, Paua abalone, and midas abalone) and show 3 different methods for polishing them. You can either go with a level polish, or go the very time consuming but so worth it route of doing a contour polish! The end result is truly incredible! I highly recommend that everyone try this at some point in you life; there is nothing quite like a polished abalone!
