I got mine from a place that makes granite counter tops. Asked for the cutout piece that is removed for the sink. Price, FREE. :D :D :D

I have been lapping with sand paper and plate glass for years, it produces a very flat surface except on the corners which tend to get a little bit more. I kinda think that as you are lapping on the sand paper there is a wave that is pushed up ahead of the stroke direction causing a slite "snipe" for lack of a better term... But lapping in this way has given me the results I need without question.
