Might have taken a little longer to figure out how to post pics, but you certainly learned how to get a shine on rocks! Those look amazing!

Omgosh - those are some lovely looking rocks! Can't wait to see them finished. Great variety there! Cattle dogs are amazing! My sweet girl, Calamity Jane (Janie) came to me when I worked for my veterinarian. She was brought in to be euth'd as they though her back was broken - 9wks old and they think she was tossed from a car. Turns out it was just her back legs. This is the sweet face I saw peeking out of the cage at me and at that time I asked them if they cared if I took her on and if she could be saved, I'd keep her. Not to hijack your rock post with puppies, but she was my velcro pup up until the time I lost her in 2014. Amazing dogs for sure! Thanks for sharing!!

You’ve got a great variety of rocks there, and a super great shine! I love that aquamarine colored stone at the top of the 1st photo. Well done!

And since we’re posting dog pics, lol, here is our Ginger. She lived to a ripe old age of 17 1/2. We sure miss her.

Got these finished up this morning and wanted to share the update from last photos. I’m a little disappointed with a few but happy the way most turned out. I know the disappointing ones should have been held back in stage 1 but put them through to see what would happen. Happy tumbling lol.

In every batch I do there’s a few of those that didn’t turn out great. I’ve redone some, others go in glass dishes on the bottom, where their not as noticeable.

Good job on those, they look nice. That also looks like a lot of rocks, what size tumbler are you using?
