Looks like they've been rough tumbled, are you going to finish them?

Dang, Toad I thought they were finished.

No,not really. This was about the first batch I ever did years ago and I stuck to the one week in each grit routine untill I knew better. Agates dont work in one week coarse too well.

No they don't - especially not bots. Some people might be happy with one week in course, but I prefer that all the defects be gone. Just a matter of taste. But thanks for saving me the 'open-mouth-insert-foot' moment. Sometimes I forget to read my posts for potentially offensive content.

I know I don't see this material much. Thanks for sharing! Fran
