I ran some odds and ends this week in the lot-o. These mixed batches are fun to look through. I also included a couple pictures of 17 pounds of nice tiger eye rough that came in the mail today. Looking forward to getting those rolling. 1 2 ( bcrockhound) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Thanks for looking Chuck

Beautiful! Theres a blue one in the group shot that looks really pretty Thanks. That one is pretty but did not meet my criteria for a closeup. Might grind out a couple flaws that developed and roll it again. Chuck

Absolutely outstanding on the finished work, Chuck. Looks good as usual.
The tiger eye rough looks great. Who was your vendor? Thanks and regards.

Agreed, fun to look at mixed batches like this. Super shine, makes it tough to photo the group shot I bet. I like a whole bunch of these, especially the mosses in #8, but don't count out 3,5,11,12,13 or 15 either. Nice all around batch, Chuck.

The tiger eye was an ebay purchase from someone that bought out an estate. That is all they had. I got it for $3.50 per pound including shipping. I would have bought a bunch more if they had more. It is sized perfectly for tumbling. Chuck

It's fun looking at your tumbled batches - you do such a nice job. That Montana is my favorite.

Wow, great job! Guess I'll just go home and throw mine in the trash now... miket - No need to toss yours. Just a goal to work towards. I'm sure yours will come out nicely and if they're not quite as shiny as Drummond Island Rocks, then you get advice and adjust your next batch. It's how we all learn.

Wow, great job! Guess I'll just go home and throw mine in the trash now... Thanks- You'll get there. I enjoy watching new folks progress. You find some cool stuff so you have some good batches coming. Three key factors I have found 1) Material. Garbage in shiny Garbage out. 2) Equipment and recipe 3) Getting decent photos Chuck

Wow, great job! Guess I'll just go home and throw mine in the trash now... The goal is to get as good as these or at least as close as possible When I started on here I spent days going through all of the post on the rock tumbling thread. Inspiration and priceless advice can be found in those threads

They are definitely a goal to work towards, however!
