These are from my scanner, the quality isn't that great, I'm going to get new disks for my camera today and get some good ones. Anyhow, this is a very small portion for the batch that I wanted to show y'all.....  |

You did a fantastic job on some great stones! It boggles my mind that you went from rough to polish in around a week -- I've had some Bots tumbling in a rotary for 5 weeks and only now are a few of them shaped up enough to move on -- I figure most of them will take a good 8 weeks. And you finished coarse in 4 days!!!! Amazing!!!

Really nice Randy, you really got a deep polish on that batch.
And quit that drooling Xena, those of us below you are getting soaked!

Get your raincoat on Rich, I think there'll be more. *smile* Awesome job Randy, that is amazing how fast you can go if you have time to babysit the vibe. I still think that would drive me crazy, as much as I love tumbling, I wouldn't want to be that attached to it. Spectacular shine though, bots are just great aren't they.

Randy,
Great Stones! All the grinding beforehand must've worked very good! You've got a great batch of banded botswanas there! Xenas...please do STOP THAT! I need to try to get my lawn mowed but if you can't quit your slobbering....give me a break...Please. LOL

Wow, love that wild banding! It's hard to believe they were completely done in a vibe, they really looked nice and rounded off. Guess it's worth the extra effort to use the saw blade/grinder.
Darn, just when I thought I was getting my rock wish list under control I see these.

Xenas,

Hammer-
I'm in love with those. I really think the white on dark patterns are awesome. I haven't see too many of these before.
thanks a lot for sharing.
