Wow, you worked that stuff up nice! Fantastic polish! I don't think I've ever had enough of that at one time to make up a full batch but now I'm gonna start looking!....Mel

Super job, Don. Pretty cool how some of those rocks, especially the lighter ones, could pass for pet wood.

... but it takes a great shine in the end. -Don I wander if there is a stone on this Earth which doesn't take a great shine in your tumbler. Could you please share us the recipe you use (grit size, time)? If it's secret, it's OK. Adrian

It really is somthing else hey!?! What incredible shiners! Don, you really make me dry in the mouth, I'm just all drooled out! That's an extremely impressive batch of tumbles once again Sir, and thank you so much for sharing the pictures. I really go off in a bit of a daze looking at such amazing rocks, Bravo Don! Each and every one is a stunner! Cheers, Harry.

Don...you use a dremel for gettin out the bad spots. I'm trying to see how ya do it. Let's say you have a hunk with a bad spot you want rid of. Do you grind the whole side away until its sorta level? I don't see any divets in your finished tumbles so that's the only way I can see you do it.

As I am a newbie tumbler, I would also be interested in hearing Don's recipe. If its been mentioned before, could I get a link to the thread? If its a secret.....Im sorry! Didnt mean to pry (yes I did).
