First batch in the Lot-O and I'm a happy camper! Still don't know what the rock is, but it sure came out nice after one week. I posted a complete set of these up in Tumbling Photos but, I'm so excited about this that I'm going to put a couple here too. ![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa450/talkingstones/Lot%20O%20first%20batch%20finished/100_0936.jpg) ![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa450/talkingstones/Lot%20O%20first%20batch%20finished/100_0959.jpg) ![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa450/talkingstones/Lot%20O%20first%20batch%20finished/100_0960.jpg) ![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa450/talkingstones/Lot%20O%20first%20batch%20finished/100_0964.jpg) This one still isn't a great cab, made it from scrap, but it's shiney! ![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa450/talkingstones/Lot%20O%20first%20batch%20finished/100_0965.jpg) So that's it! I did it!!!!! YAY!!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) To me, all of this is really rocket science, and I am very thankful to Jack from Yorkshire and Connrock for all of their help!

Cathy, you did a beautiful job! I would suspect that your material is willow creek or a polish flint. Wonderful shine! Fran

Fran! I just checked over on ebay to see if I could find anything similar. I think you're right! Polish flint!!! It has that same kind of flakey brittleness as flint and the same kind of smooth shine! WOW! I never would have even thought of that! Thank you so much for bringing that up! :-)

Looks great. Willow was the first thing that came to my mind.

Superb scene on that small oval cab! I think this is what a polar bear has in sight when floating on an iceberg.

Very nice shine on 'em. I too like the scene on the little oval one.
