I'm not sure what it is but it feels like it should take a shine. If it were mine...that's one I would think about not putting it into the tumbler until the 220 stage. I wouldn't want to lose much of that one! (Not saying YOU should do this...just saying what "I" would do! LOL)

This is the best one from yesterday. I didn't include a picture because it was so dark it was impossible to photo. I couldn't wait to cut it. I squared up the ends and started slabbing the sides. Here's the first cut.

lunker legit slab man! I see 3 women by the watering well on the 13th pic! The deep read in the middle of that node depression needs to be seen!

Some really cool finds in your area. It’s been ages since I was out on the water or in a boat. I miss it. Missed out on the cute little kid too. Looks like a really nice time. Enjoy.

I went to the same spot today and picked up another bucket full. I didn't have time to sort today and I'm going back to work in the morning so you're gonna have to wait. Here's a little teaser though.

I see several of those pieces of wood that are just shouting out to be tumble polished. The good news is that they have been running in Coarse stage for millions of years!!
