Kirk,

    Even the slowest speed on my variable speed motor is too fast for
    working with amber. I use a battery powered rotary tool for carving,
    superfine grit papers and files (from the beauty shops that do fake
    fingernails) for the finishing, and a loose muslin buff charged with
    Pearl Drops toothpolish for the polishing. 

Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Lyn
