Kelly - The polish on both those batches is stellar! They're GORE-JUSS! Thank you Jason jasoninsd I'd like to learn how to wrap and make something of the tumbles and not just have them in a dang old bubblegum machine. I am the only one that gets to see them 😟

Outstanding batch Kelly. The shine you achieved is spectacular. Bots and flint are both really satisfying to tumble. Thanks for sharing your work. Thank you for the kind words Starguy and thank you for stopping by to view them.

Gorgeous!! Yes, I'd say you did Ohio's flint very proud! The banded (as far as I'm aware) is just called banded flint or maybe banded chert. I read somewhere that the black variety is the flint and the rest is chert, but po-tay-to, po-tah-to, I guess.... Thanks for sharing. I still have buckets of this stuff, but want to go back and get more lol... Thank you rocknewb101 I love it no matter the name, LOL I hear the son or grandson took it over. I would love to go back. I sold a lot of mine. With having my rock shed mobile so it goes with me on assignments I have to dwindle down what I have on had or I think my husband will divorce me. I'm getting it down now but not near close enough to get more. I have so much sofeter stuff from when I was ignorant to tumbling I dont know what to do with it. Maybe just tumble some alone, i dont know. See you are in NE Ohio. If you decide to go down some weekend send me a note, maybe we could meet up and talk rock

Last visit he was handing out business cards with cost/hours, etc. I guess they had a bunch of people not paying, just coming by and taking. I even had one lady tell me not to go to the house that they got mad when you did, and that there was no cost to taking. I called BS and glad I did - she was way off base. I will definitely do that! Yep. Close to Youngstown. It's about a 2.5hr drive for me to get there - I'll message you for sure. that would be fun!
