I finished a tumble that I started quite some time ago, had to put it on hold when life got too busy. Part of the batch was these shapes (pseudo arrowheads) made on the Workforce saw. I have long been "Jonesing" to do more than tumble rough, but it will be awhile before I will be able to get a cabbing machine or a flat lap so I make do with the little saw. I will be putting some of these back to 500 grit as I rushed them and some need more smoothing in the tight areas. They can't compare to the creations the pros here do, but is fun to play around with. All local material with the exception of the 2 lace ones. Bill

Nicely done. You can wire wrap them, those shapes are very agreeable to it. I'm a terrible wrapper and even I could wrap those. I agree with Mel, these are the kinds of things that make great pendants for young people.

These are great! I really dig the larger Crazy Lace and the clear one above it.

Thanks folks! great ideas, the fridge magnets would be good for ones that aren't clear, I would like to do some pendants, and learning to wire wrap is also on my to-do list.
