I think this deserves it's own thread. Proud as heck that RTH took First and Second places in the 2017 Worldwide Tumbling Contest sponsored by the Feather River Lapidary and Mineral Society. First place honors went to Dave ChicagoDaveSecond place honors went to Rob JugglerguyYou guys did good representing RTH and doing us proud. It was a TOUGH material to work with. I'm not an experienced tumbler but when I heard what the material was I was thinking oh heck no, that stuff does not take a shine at ALL. It would be our community honor to outfit you both with an RTH T-shirt of your choices. Please take a look through our RTH Gear store and let me know what style, color, and size shirt you guys want and I'll get it ordered pronto in time for the photo you need to submit. Congratulations again both of you and honorable mention to the other members who worked hard and submitted rocks for the contest.

Wow We have the number one and number two in the world best stone tumbling polishers. Bet the last world champion member Chuck, @drummond Island Rocks is thrilled for them as much as we are thrilled about all three of our people Congrats to RTH, the community system for learning and all the winners who have yet to win.

Here are mine. None were perfect, but these were at least shiny. Most of the batch did not shine up at all. One of my shiniest rocks lacked any shine at all on the back side. I didn't send that one in.

Thanks everyone! Here are the rocks I sent in. Out of all the rocks I started with I only had 6 or 7 that I would consider "finished". I think I swapped one of these for another before sending in my box. I was very lucky to get these five together without more pits or cracks showing up while tumbling.

No luck involved. You guys both produce world class tumbles year round. Congrats again Jugglerguy and ChicagoDave. This seemed fitting since I am in my office right now. But I really like this one too Chuck
