Here’s a few photos from my November UV-10 batch. Many are Bay of Fundy agate and jasper performs and tumbles from McKay Head, Nova Scotia. A few are the “usual suspects” from the Rock Shed.

I had more than the usual amount of pitting and “crusty edges” on this batch in spite of using MANY ceramic pellets after the first 120/220 stage. I’ll pull out the “custies” and give them a second run to see if I can rescue them. Failing that, I’ll blame the rock unless you have any suggestions.

The Overall Load

Crusty Green Moss and Crusty Red Plume

More Crusties

Throw in Some Pits

It happens a lot with mixed harnesses in the same stone. Good luck with the second grind. I hope many will come out good for you! Fran

The preforms look especially nice.....Mel

I think they look really good, tumbling is hard!!! There are always some that just disappoint, but I think these look super!

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
