Heya Tama!
Thanks so much for finding the time to answer my questions! I know you're a busy man, so I appreciate it immensely. I hope you find Paipo. He's probably on some sort of covert operation or collecting greywacke pebbles or something equally as dangerous... :)
No, I've been about - I just have trouble keeping up with all the goings-on round these parts and a lot of posts slip by unnoticed. A PM usually gets my attention!
Looks like Tama has pretty much covered the bases in this instance, so I haven't got very much to add...I use a beeswax based shoe wax on all my stone (including jade). The bullnose holes should be a semicircle/crescent rather than a "V", but this takes some practice to get just right, preferably on a bit of softer stone scrap that won't kill your burr. The trick is to alter the angle subtly as you drill to get the slight curvature that wil allow the cord to thread through easily.
