Cleaned out my second12 lb'er this morning.I tried to see how how large and how many would work in the 12 lb barrel. It wasnt a fantastic shine, but passable I guess.Cloudy here,no sun reflection.I know one thing,for polishing the vibe got me spoiled,just got to get a bigger one someday to handle these larger stones. Palm chunks,regular wood around the edge Palm showing the other side End cuts,slabettes,junk. Thanks for looking snuffy

Those are some nice big pieces of palm, and each one seems to have its own character, good job on the tumble! I'm also quite taken with the stone in the bottom picture, right at the bottom of the photo, kind of a red stone with what looks like white and red poppies all over it.... what is that stone? Don

That's a purty looking pile of polished palm! Has anybody tried cooking palm to deepen the color?

Great batch Snuffy! I really like your Palm. You aren't kidding about the economies of the vibe, both in time and consumables.
