Just finished up a small batch and some hearts. One of the hearts is from some slabs I got from Diane (drocnut) that she had gotten that were labeled blue "venturine" A couple other hearts were from a puddingstone slab Chuck (drummondislandocks) was nice enough to send me last yr. I don't know how he gets his to come out so nice- He is the master The tumbles are a mismash of some desert jasper and a few pieces of wood I still had from Snuffy Thank you everyone who have provided such nice materials Whole batch The tumbled rocks A closeup of a few of my favorites The hearts My favorite hearts Thanks for looking Bill

Everything looks great Bill! Hearts are awesome. I still have your flint tumbling in first grit. Getting closer.

beautiful stuff with a beautiful shine. I collect hearts, and those call to me... even your puddingstone came out with depth, and I know that's hard to do!

Great looking batch Bill. Your closeup picture of your favorites looks a lot like the rocks we tumbled in Roy's contest. I don't think I have ever seen you do pudding stone hearts so of course that was cool.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments Ed- you are the rock'n man Kathy- that flint is hard stuff but I promise it will shine up great Chuck- thanks once again. I have a great appreciation of what you can do with puddingstone Toad- in this case a heart of stone IS a good thing. When it comes to people not so much Mike- hope for a speedy recovery for all snowmom-hearts just seem to speak to some people and I'm one of them rodeodan,tkvancil- keep rockin- thanks again

Bill, I always love your hearts. All of those rocks look really, really good. Are you running just a rotary tumbler, or do you have a vibe now too?

Rob Thanks I tumble the hearts with my rocks in a rotary for a few weeks beginning at 120/220 grit until the shape up how I like them. Then I finish the batch off in my Lot-O 400, 600 and polish Bill
