Hi joan to RTH Forum look forward to seeing your handy work. I live in Niles just south of you about 100 miles. Glad to see another Michigander on the Forum.

Ouch. We brought back almost 100 lbs of obsidian in June - its gorgeous! Much of it will be shared with kids and collectors as specimens, but we are planning to use a bunch for lapidary too. I have never tried to finish obsidian in a rotary tumbler, but I’ve had success on quite a few batches in my Lot-O vibratory tumbler. If you are willing to make the investment, I could walk you through the process. The best advice I’ve seen here on doing it in a rotary tumbler was Captbob’s thread.
