Here are some pics of the TV screen I tumbled. It is the smokey colored glass. Really neat stuff. Included in the photo is some slag glass I bought in Arkansas. Red with darker red stripes, white with clear stripes and a clear light purple. The purple glass had bubbles in it and during tumbling, some of the holes opened up and formed a tube threw the piece.    Enjoy, [glow=blue,2,300]Brett[/glow] |

that is so cooooollllll. you got some beautiful tumbled glass and might have saved someone a cut foot too. that glass will make some nice jewelry or be pretty in a dish.

My wife just smacked me up side the head for not picking up some of that slag glass while we were in Arkansas.....some very neat looking stuff there.
Next time I am anywhere near Arkansas,,gonna make a stop and get a bunch of that glass.....

Thanks for sharing

KD, I will get some close ups but I will have to wait till Monday as I take the pics at work with their dig. camera.  Also, it is very cool stuff because it is slightly heavy, or at least heavier than the slag glass. Pho, I really didn't want to buy any because I wanted more $$ for rocks.  But the wife and son picked out some. You should have seen their faces when I took my 22oz. framing hammer to them!  Jack, It looked like a 30" or bigger. :)I only picked up several pieces. In the batch of slag glass I was running low in the barrel so I added a little TV screen. I am planning on doing a whole batch of it since it came out pretty cool. |
