Where do you get slabs to tumble? All I've ever seen are rough mixes. Nice earth tones

Nice earth tones I was lucky to find an old gentleman that was selling out his rock supply.These were his saw cuts over years and years.He also bought saw cuts from others to use as smalls in his tumblers.His specialty was wind chimes.Took me 2 years to get most of it,but I did finally.Me and Curt,texaswoodie had a good time! snuffy

There are some nice pieces in the mix for wire wrapping or drilling for pendants. Do you do those things Snuffy?

Great batch snuffy. Perfect shine. I had to wonder, when I saw that pile, how many man-hours of sawing that must represent. Then I saw your note that this was years worth of sawing. There's gotta be a lot of fun, wonder and pride in that pile.
