Oh my!!! And I have no idea why, but I just heard a southern belle say “well I do declare, that is a beauty!” LOL

Kidding aside, what a spectacular job you did with that! It’s a real stunner. (drooling)

I don't see a video when I browse this thread. However, when I go to quote your comment, this is what I see:

It looks like it never inserted the link to the video. If you can find the .mp4 link in Cloudinary and select the "BBCode" tab when you edit your post, you can post it between the two double quotation marks in the video src="" section.

Thank you so much! I tried this on my phone and that could be part of the problem as well. I'll edit that post on my computer...

It works! that is a very shiny rock and a really cute fluffy cat that I’ll have to show the kid lol. I have a chunk of mahogany obsidian that is the size of my open hand. I need to start working on it.

Thanks! In retrospect I think I got l may have gotten luck with this first tumble of obsidian. I'm going to try some more soon, following the same formula, and we'll see how that goes!
