Although I can't compete with the pros around here, I have to admit I feel like my little Harbor Freight tumbler did OK by itself this time... The third one, I edited out my fingers holding the agate but you can see them a little, sorry. The bottom one-- is it Willow Creek?-- was a gift from a member many years ago but I no longer remember who gets the credit for this amazing gift. Sorry, I'm soooo slow to work my material. Shine is much better than shone, I'm a little dazzled by this run...

Nice stuff. Really like the first ones. No need to compete here. Everyone should be tumbling to their own satisfaction not to satisfy others.

Makes me nostalgic for my "rotary only" days ... Nice batch!

Those are great, no matter how you did them. I like the first set and the one with your fingers the best.

Very nice tumble! Although I really like the first pic, I am constantly drawn to the third... Not for the fingers... the stone's colors are so stunning! I like!

The colors are more stunning in person with the light shining through. I'm thinking of having it set in silver so I can hang it up to catch the light...I went through a LOT of Brazil to get that piece...

Nice stuff. Really like the first ones. No need to compete here. Everyone should be tumbling to their own satisfaction not to satisfy others. Chuck Rob is absolutely right. It's not a competition with others. You will find, however, that you'll be looking to tweak and experiment to improve your own work. Those are well done...you should be happy...and you clearly are. As far as number 3, I can't help too much, though my first thought was picture jasper, but someone more knowledgeable will probably jump in. And, if said person does jump in, I'd love to see how to tell the difference between willow creek and picture, as they often look similar. Dave
