this is the 1st batch i started even though it didn't finish 1st. most of it is driveway gravel but somewhere in this mix is part of the little bag that came with the toy. the other part of that little bag is mixed in with other driveway gravel that is either already tumbling or waiting to tumble. this 9"x9"x4" bowl went in the middle of my coffee table and my child hollered "oh my gosh" when she got here this evening and has not been able to keep her hands out of it since. and i have room to add more as these disappear which i have a feeling they will start to do. i don't know if my pictures do justice to the great polish these took. oh and this is the bowl that the dog paid me with a nice dookie on the car seat for having to wait on me to pick it out ;D

Hey Kim, real nice work! Very well done batch. Great shaping and polish! Sure is nice lookin driveway gravel. I like the display bowl too, it looks like it was worth a recycled Kibbles & Bits patty on the car seat. Again, super work, Don

Those are great, and to think it is driveway gravel. Just goes to show you that you can find great rocks anywhere. On my way to Garden City, KS last month I stopped at a convience store and was so tempted to pick up some pinkish colored rocks that I thought would tumble beautifully, but I resisted, I don't think I will next time.

Those are really nice! Driveway gravel - who woulda thunk it!
waiting to tumble
Now if we could just figure out a way to get all these rocks we have collected thru the process faster. I haven't even gotten one load out of coarse grit yet. Probably have 50 lbs. of rocks waiting to tumble.
