Hi all well I am finally posting another batch. These are not that good, lot of scraps, some good ones, mostly miscuts, etc. Don't have definite formula, took rocks from previous batches, at different stages. But basic is 1-2 weeks 60/90, 1 week 120/220, 1 week 600 with 8 hour burnish, 2weeks pre-polish(Tripoly) 8 hour burnish, 2weeks old AO polish, added 1 TBSP new AO after 1st week, 20 hour burnish. Thanks for looking. For those of you who don.t know what I use, it is a WF, Dremel, Grinder Terry        |

Actually I have 4 new ones Buffalo skull, Buffalo, Hummingbird, and eagle, don't know if I had shown a turtle on here before.
Terry These were all rush jobs, working on better shape for Hummingbird. That one was too small.

Nice preforms. My daughters would love the unicorn and the dolphin. Great shine too.

Thanks guys, I sell at a Farmers Market and people come in and say can you make this or that, as is the case with the Turtle, and Elephant, and if I haven't I go try, sometimes it comes out sometimes not. Don't know if you noticed but a couple of pieces I tried cabbing, but tumble polished. I have a cabbing machine now but still just practicing, but have to keep making shapes, Market startes in a month. I wish the shine would have came out better, photos are lousy.
