Well I finally got the results from the 2014 world rock tumbling contest today and it turns out we pulled off the win again this year. I did not recognize the names from 2nd and 3rd place but hopefully they were RTH members. I would like to thank all the RTH members that have answered all my silly questions over the years to get us to this level. And now Rob ( Jugglerguy) has to put up with my #1 avatar for a little while again too. Here's a link to the official site that lists the winners and the prizes. www.featherriverrocks.org/rockin-info/rock-tumbling-contestrough received finished rocks sent in Thanks for looking Chuck

I saw the badge on your message in my broken tumbler thread and I knew right away why it was there. Two years in a row, that's impressive.
When I saw TIGER's message, I thought it said "Well done, sunshine!"

Congrats Chuck. I was just thinking this morning that the results should be known soon. I remember you were kinda sweating the last few days as you might not have any recourse if they had a problem. There was no problem.
Wonder what they will challenge you with next year - sticks of 3rd grade chalk, LOL. You would find a way to make them shine!

Congratulations on 2 years in a row. I guess some of the rest of us should get in on that and start giving you some competition

Congratulations on 2 years in a row. I guess some of the rest of us should get in on that and start giving you some competition Thanks John The competition is pretty darn good already. It must be very difficult to judge when there are 50 sets of identical tumbled material to look at. An RTH member (Susan) got 2nd last year and 4th place was RTH too if I remember correctly. Chuck
