I tried a different approach this tumble. All the smaller pet rocks I find are smooth and rounded. I ran 1 week coarse,recharged,and ran for 3 weeks without checking it. Then I went straight to dirty polish for two weeks.I was pleased with the outcome. Sure saves on grit.     My favorite of the batch. If only I could take better pics. snuffy |

Those are neat! You find smooth and rounded pet wood pieces? I have only found a few pieces of wood and they are huge, would have to cut to tumble, so imagine would take a lot longer in rough :-)

Beautiful pieces of pet wood. Your favorite is my favorite, too.
That one in the 2nd pic, placed at 2 o clock in the right side of the very slim one, has a different pattern. Could that one be palm wood cut transversally?
