They look really neat. I like watching them progress to their final step.
I have a question: At this point (where the templates are drawn on the pieces) do you now put them in the tumbler? Do you start with Step 1 (the coarse) or step 2/3?

Fantastic slabs. going to be some nice cabs from these. I got some great looking stuff from Tony, too.
Barbara, these will be put on a grinder/polisher and made into domed cabs, not into the tumbler. Ken

Thanks all. Ken and Barb these slabs are between 1 mm and 2 mm, I will be shaping and beveling them into guitar picks. Barb I will be vibe tumbling them. 3 days 220, 2 days 600, 1 day 1000, and 3 days polish. All grit is graded.
