Those are exceptional jewels with well rounded shape and shine city.I run a lot of flat stuff(not sawn but chips) about the size of your stuff.Flat stuff does polish quicker on the edges.A lot quicker.You have the solution using some smalls.Even at that i have to run them in polish longer to catch the flat faces.A good test is to look at concave areas(curved inward= concave i think) to see if polish is occurring. That 5th picture has got to be oak.Check out the grain man.

Purty! Yep, more smalls always helps my final polish. I keep a sack of polished smalls just for that.

Wonderful mixture colors and patterns. Neat wood. I really appreciate it when you don't see pits and cracks too. Great job!

A good mix and a nice mix of shapes. And the shine looks good to me.
