Did my change out with the tumblers.....The petwood and agate came out great...Refilled the bigger tumbler with Georgia coral and put the Obsidian back in with polish,let it run for a week or so..... So here they are....Two months of tumbling and looking good...(all scraps,from the bucket)

Excellent polish. You did real good getting the polish on the large flat areas. I forgot if you are all rotary or rotary vibe combo? Either way its a top notch tumble. I think a lot of people will be happy to see you got such good results while leaving some original character in your rocks. I prefer most of my rocks smooth but pet wood is an exception. I like some texture to be left on that stuff.

Most will be going to another hounder for some trades I did-He gives them to kids in his area...I think that's a great idea..

All ends and the such........I think I still would run my slabbed rocks the same amount of time..Will find out,got a batch to go through the tumblers soon.... Photos take to long,going from a host site to here..So why not just do a video..LOL (especially if you have a lot of rocks to get into the frames...)
