My personal favs. Thanks for looking! John

John:
Those crosses are fabulous, how shiny and beautiful, I love the crazy lace and red ones!! Jo started a cross that I wanted to make for you, then I further messed it up, and Tony finally did it in, but you are getting it!!!! Not as nice as your's though!!!
The leopard skin tumbles are pretty too.

Yes, they are absolutely amazing! I am going to try my hand at making one using my workforce. But, here is a question I have. My tumblers are presently occupied. Would it be possible to smooth up and polish, to some degree, using a Dremel? If so, what bits would be recommended?
Thanks for any info. And, once again, those are some really inspiring pieces you have made. What an incredible shine on some awesome stone! Thanks for showing them.
