Hi Y'all, well I pulled these rocks out of the rough phase and they are ready for the fine phase of tumbling. I thought I would post some pics so you can see the things I am working on. The fish and cabs were actually tumbled in my covington tumbler, that thing really holds the cab shapes with little to no distortion from the original shape. sorry some of the pics are fuzzy it is difficult to get close ups with this digital without fuzz sometimes.I am trying to improve my skills..I sure do miss my cannon AE1 35 MM camera and my 135mm lens with the filters. Tiger eye cab wet Tiger eye and fish together fish cab top view of fish cab chrysocolla cab I hope the hue comes out in it the green and blue reminds me of the hue a peacock feather has. A bit of spring time..a beautiful humming bird at sunset The fish is part of the under water ocean scene I am making into my coffee table. It is going to take a long time to get this table done...for some reason my tumblers do not tumble the rocks as fast as I want them to. do the tumblers not understand how impatient I am HA HA HA enjoy the pics Thanks Steve

I am at school right now and should be doing school work but instead I am on this awesome addictive site. Because I have been on this site too much at school, the computer administrator has blocked me from looking at images on this site, so now I have to wait till I get home.............sigh........cough....... Anyway, I have to get back to my work.
