Played on the machine last night with some stuff I hadn't played with before. I'm trying to work on smoother curves. Results: Warm up piece: Seam Agate from Northern Cady's When I started grinding, the red was just a small dot. I liked how it grew. -sorry for the darker pictures Petoskey Stone Never tried them before and was happy with how it shines. Material from Hauser Beds from the flats they call the Corn Field as it's loaded with tiny nodules the size of corn kernels. This material, though, was different. It's a little softer than agate. Not sure what to call it. I have a batch of lil pieces tumbling. And finally got to work for the first time on dino bone from that ongoing estate sale I visit. Back side is broken as is the bottom, so I tried to create something that had a nice front that hid the ragged sections. Hope it worked out. Thanks for looking! Lowell

That Cady's seam agate is nice stuff! Great color in the bone too. Very nice group of specimens!....Mel

Yeah, I didn't think a shine like that could be had on a petoskey! Great work! Love the rest too.
