Well another batch finished- Some big Pet wood and a bunch of odds and ends (lots of driveway gravel- not sure why) oh and look at all the little chips (ahh that is whay all the driveway gravel) I lined up on the scanner for you people- man I hope you all appreciate it! Last pic- Some cutting I did over the weekend- (yea the pic sucks- I was tired and shakey)- Enjoy    Sorry about the jumbo Pix- I resized em but they just would not get small! |

Hey those are pretty good pics there Steffy, you're getting better. Looks like you cut quite a bit, no wonder you were shakey. Pics not too big to me though, looks about the same size as the others. Thing is, when you change the picture to a smaller size, unless you rename it, it's still going to show the big one because it's in the cache. You can right click on it and select show pic (then refresh it), then hit the back button to come back to your post. It's a good idea is to copy everything you've typed just in case but I never lose mine when I do that.

Those are some Geode pieces- I got a bag of tumbling rough from a local shop (now closed) when I first started tumbling- Those chips and such have been just sitting around- Finially tossed em in a barrel (my mom is trying to fill this fancy glass jar with polished chips and such) so most of picture 2 goes to her (I did keep some of the larger fancier chips to make some pendants)

very nice stefan, really like the 1st pic. I'm starting to think you are addicted to pet wood

Ummm Yea- Well I got a bunch for free (from a former co-worker) and I like to toss some in with every load- I do a lot of shaping with the saw on this wood- and I like to see if my ideas will take (so far about half of em come out) these chunks were for a necklace idea I had- they came out ok but the necklace would have weighed too much- so my daughter got to take them (she loves the wood too) Got some more wood in polish right now- should be ready Christmas day!

Nice batch there Stefan. I really like the Wood at top also. I think it's time for a new camera...I want to see some more details. Is the black/yellow ones Tiger Eye?

Nice shine on those rocks, nice assortment...I'm doing a 12 pound load of petwood that has been in coarse for 2.5 weeks and probably will need 4 weeks of coarse...love the cuts in the last picture...will you be tumbling those?

Nice batch, Stefan. A few more pieces like that pet wood and you could make a little Stonehenge model.
Like where they worshipped the Gods years ago.

Stefe- the Black and Yellow is opalized pet wood (yea I know) very fun stuff- Yea it is time for a new camera- Maybe for my Birthday- Not gonna happen for Christmas- We got to get a new Computer for home- The laptop is getting louder and louder and the keyboard keeps crapping out plus now the USB ports are acting funny-
Chass- yup that is all destined to be tumbled- I love the saw for prehaping the rocks- gives me a bit more control over those real difficult chunks!
Parfive- Hey now that would sell on ebay- Mini Stonhenge- Own your own- rocks older than Stonehenge itself- man that would be a fun auction!
