Since my old project threads are useless thanks to Photobucket removing the pictures, I'm going to post a couple examples here of things I do (and you can too) with your polished flat stones. I've made many table tops, picture frames, bowls, etc. but here's a couple to give you the basic idea of how it's done. Glue, grout, maybe paint or color the grout to look more antiquely, seal... Here's a wine or bottle storage unit with table top... If you like to start small, here's a box I use to hold my gift cards made from a damaged old wooden box that would have otherwise have to be tossed. Note-- with boxes, you can buy little rubber feet thingies to put on the bottom.... thought I'd mention since you can't see the feet in this photo. I have lots more, as I get them posted to Google or Twitter, I may come back and add more projects. But even if I don't, you guys are smart people, you get the idea.

Oh, and if a lot of people are still have trouble seeing the pix, let me know. I'm in Chrome, and the pics are hosted by Google, so for me they look great. If there is a widespread problem, though, let me know so I can remove the post because the last thing we need is more useless "missing photo" threads! thanks. So anybody who can't see the pix, message me or post here... there's always going to be a few who have images blocked because of what ad blocker or some other cause beyond my control but if it's a decent number of people who can't see the pix, I appreciate being aware so I can remove/cease posting too many photo posts.

OK, I have switched to Twitter. Google and Android have a close relationship, and I didn't realize this might cause a problem for Mac, iPhone, Apple users...
Let me know if you're still having issues seeing the images.

Nice. I used to do something similar with small turquoise tumbles and polymer.
