"Hi,Garage Rocker, first thanks for everything you did to help me up load pictures when I first joined. That said,...... great pictures, even greater polish. I am guessing image #15 is a bee-keeper under attack. Cheers, johnw" Thanks johnw, glad to see you found a home here. Many new members we try to help along don't end up staying active. I think I can get behind your bee-keeper suggestion, too. Can't say I always see what you do, but this one's pretty straightforward.

#23 is my favorite; that is AMAZING. How you got it so perfect without that stuff undercutting everywhere just blows my mind.
Your cat, also, is just the most adorable flurf. Wonderflurfs are fantastic. <3

Wonderflurfs are fantastic. <3 Thanks! That #23 came from a large fossilized fern that I got in a box from a member here. It is actually very solid and tumbled much like any agate or pet wood, no undercutting at all. Makes an interesting tumble. Here is a whole thread about that one: Tempskya

Very nice rocks, too many nice ones to pick a fave.
Glad you found these and shared. Quite the show!
As a side ... Where do you get your rough?

I've kind of burned out on taking photos of each batch, so I'll likely end up doing three or four 'best of' threads through the year. I haven't bought rough from a vendor in a long time. I grab misc. boxes from folks on the forum, when I see something I like. Also, there is a member here that works with nicer material that holds all their end cuts, scraps and 'less than perfect' cabbing/sphere material for me. Last time, I received two LFRBs of material. That's where a lot of my more unique tumbles come from and why my batches are always a variety bag.

Awesome sauces. Lots of great tumbles and the finest of photography. The RTH members sent you fine tumbling materials and you did well with them.
The ole D70 Nikon with the poor auto focus finally kicked. Wife retired her 13M D90 and now have a much better auto focus and 13M instead of 6M. Better focus and a few more pixels to work with.
Keep em coming.

Wow, how did I miss this one? Gorgeous as always, Randy. These Remind me of the old Moon Equipment logo. (Probably before your time, lol.) Pretty and shiny stuff.
