It's been, what, four years since I posted here last?
I'm Steve Adams, of Bitter Brook Cabochons. I teach beginning cabochons classes at William Holland four weeks a year. I'm in the middle of a two-week stint now. One of my students who dwells here suggested I make a reappearance. So here I am.
So far I'm a pretty below-average rock tumbler, but I cut some mean cabochons. I'll post some cab photos here later and maybe brag on my tumbler table.

Welcome Steve. Tumbling is something only some of us do. I make cabs & only tumble occasionally (to finish earrings or cabs in my Lot-O). I run an occasional rotary batch for giveaways at shows where I sell. Lynn

Lots of cabbers here, including me. I tumbled stones to start out but that was many, many years ago. I still rev up the Mini-Sonic occasionally but mostly to window faceting material. Looking forward to seeing some of your cabs.

RTH has changed a LOT in the past 4 years. It has become much more than just tumbling. - Cabing, faceting, jewelry making, geology, . . . Rock related, we are there! And we LOVE photos!

Hi Steve, Glad that you followed our wayward and onwards Melissa melhill1659 back to the RTH herd again. Hope that you spend a little time and share your talents with all of us and enjoy the time spent. Mel is kind of an enthusiastic little gal isn't she? Hope that all of your students are as driven and interested.
