Thanks for the compliment!
I have to give the sand credit for the finish, that and metal temp. it gets pretty critical when it comes to finish, those were poured when the furnace temp reached around 1300 degrees, you get it too hot with thin casting and the metal will try to run between the sand grains especially if using water bonded sand.
