January 2017 - Tumbleoff - update OP

Lets start the new year right.

Contest entrants must include pics of the 5 best pieces they produced.

I'll put rules here later. But the big deal on this contest, is you must all tumble the same stuff. I'm supplying the stones from my rockhounding endeavors. Therefore I will not enter.

I will provide a free SFRB of Lavic. All I ask is you send me $7 for postage. If you decide to enter, please indicate if you have a saw or not. Or at least a way to break bigger pieces down. Send payment to me Scott dot solar at Gmail. Com

I am sponsoring one entrant for free postage. If any body else wants to sponsor a friend, please post it here. Let's not leave out a student or retiree over postage.

Entries will be blind. PM your photos in January.

Omg!

Huge response, so fast.

We have a generous offer from Tommy to also sponsor folks and send the rocks. He collected the same stuff when I did.

metalsmith gave me the idea I forgot out intl friends.

Canada is US$25 for a small box

Anywhere else? I will get you a price. kk @adrian
