I've had so little time and so little patience lately on the wheel! I finally pre-formed and domed these, then tumbled through 400 grit. Took them to the wheel for 600,1200,3000 and 14 then 50K diamond polish. Just seemed to take less time, and the tumble got the 220 scratches out way better than I ever do! OG Jasper Not sure Another Green jasper Again-no idea! Terrible at rock id!

I just may have to try that and just toss them in to get the evening out done and then finish them off. It really worked for you and I just love the first one and I am pretty sure the second is petrified wood isn't it? I have some that looks like that. Fran

Very nice cabs - I like the shapes. That last one has to be my pick - it looks like a marriage of 2 different kinds of agates, way cool.
