These pics are mostly Arizona petrified woods that I collected a few years back in Holbrook, AZ. There are a few scattered Woodwards and a couple of beach agates that were given to me by Chadman. *** Honesty Factor...These were the best that came out of a 12lb and a 15lb Thumler's Tumbler barrels. Most of them got pretty banged up. The reason I believe is because there was just too much of a different mixture and quite a few larger stones. I'm going to redo those starting with stage 2 in the vibe. We'll see what happens. The mix. AZ woods, a couple of Woodwards and the beach agates. Large agatized wood. About 5" x 6" x 1". Same as above. I really like this one. It's larger than my fist. Found in Holbrook, Arizona. Other side. Standing tall. Three different woods already shown. Thanks for looking. Condor

Wow! I like the big'un too. I've found Holbrook rainbow pet wood to be kind of brittle too but it's always worth the extra work. I frequently throw in a bunch of small pieces as filler and just run them till they look good and smooth but like you said, if they're in with larger pieces they can get pretty chingered up.....Mel

These are nice, nice, and nice. Great shine. I've got some bigger pieces of wood too, but dont have a big enough tumbler yet to put them in. Some day.

Sweet shine. I've always found that if I try more than one large rock in a barrel everything gets banged up. -Don
