Save a couple handfuls though. It's going to get a 2 week polish run with no update in between.

Are those string like black lines polished or rough? Sorting my first batchs of tiger is getting complicated.

The vertical lines, like in the 5th picture of my previous post? Those have been tumbled quite a bit, but still show evidence of "porosity" between the fibers. That doesn't want to go away, but I see that with tiger's eye quite a bit, so I'm less concerned about it. Speaking of... I should upload the Saturday prepolish pics...

Yes, the porous lines ones like in some of mine. Do those cause problems for the polishing stages as in collecting previous grit? If all polishes well, I could see putting some sort of clear coat on those. Some of them have smoothed out, but most seem to leave gashes and streaks. Looking forward to new pics! How do you have to post pics here? Not having any luck...

tumblee A lot of us use Cloudinary (free) to post pictures on the forum. The tutorial is here on how to set it up. Otherwise you can use a photo hosting site like flickr to also post photos.

My test pic. 3.7M. Thanks for the link! These are about a month in on stage 1. Partially wet them for comparison. Sorry for the thread hijack. Will start another for my next posts. Thanks everyone for your insight!

Very nice. Trying to get a feel for tiger eye on a much smaller scale. What size barrel do you use for that one? Thanks!
