Your usual great stuff! Question tho' - did you drill the pendant cabs before coarse or later in the process. My wife wants to snag a few of mine before pre-polish, drill them and have me finish them, but it doesn't look like the chips around the holes were smoothed out on yours and that's what she wants done to them.

Hi Rodger & IParker,
Yes & No !! I drilled them before stage 2 (220)
So they get the sharp edges ground off.
I have got a dimond countersink drill which I will grind the spaling (I think thats what it is called) off next time I was experimenting as to how much would be ground off in the polishing process from stage 2 (220 Grit)
Thanks for the questions hope this helps

Good work Jack. Nice variety of shapes and materials. I like the one with the large hole in it.

Sweeet batch Jack! You did a great job on the shapes. I really like that 3rd pic. It shows some closer shots of that material you have tumbled. The one on the far right looks really great, as well as the green swirly ones. Steve

nice batch, Jack, even the filler has a killer shine! i like the big white piece with the hold in it...looks like it would make a great "tribal" piece with some beads and leather and maybe some feathers.
what is the red and white stripy stuff?

Hmmm... how did I miss those ones? Even your "filler" came out beautiful, not speaking about the main ones. My favs are the white hollow one and the bear.
