I agree with Chuck, that fourth one is awesome. Great shine, plus the cool coral patterns. The vibe tumbler has really improved your results.

Great bunch, thanks. Carol and I both vote #8. Appreciate camera setting tips, we bought each other a new "pitcher taker" for Christmas. She gave me one half, I gave her the other, way more complex than present one; now we have to learn how to drive it properly.

Gotta love those corals! The vibe did the number of them, they turned out swell. They kept telling you resistance (to using vibe tumbler) was futile... I like #4 as well, but also partial to this one with the dog hair on it And this one, a Dali-esque triangular fried egg Actually, I like them all. Thanks for the eye candy, James!

The fried eggs are a deep south Florida coral. Always get tennis elbow trying to window those corals, they have cherty/limestone husk on then 1-2 inches thick. It's like hard rubber, absorbs the hammer blow. The whitest of the whitest. Hair from Ridgeback, figured a comment on that one.

Like Lucy, at least your ridgebacks don't have a fluffy undercoat - chili dogs! Worst shedding dogs I've had were a shepherd-lab mix and a chow mix. (Gotta be more careful setting up your pics, James!)
