Yeah...I had no clue the first time she gave it to me. When I looked it up myself, I almost felt guilty...almost! LOL Lol! Can’t feel guilty with the awesome job you did on them! She's coming out to visit our folks (my neighbors) this summer...so I know I'm going to have to fork over a couple of these pieces as "payment"...which I'll be happy to do.* (*Once I hide a couple that are my favorites!** LOL) (**Kidding...kinda... LOL)

Wow! Excellent! Definitely pull your faves before she arrives. 🤣🤣 I’ve got nothing to add here…everyone covered it.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. Jealously, Heather.

Well those are purdy! I like your level of patience for coarse grind.

LOL, Whatever voodoo you put on it worked!
Better than grinding all that beautiful material away in a barrel to get the shape you want.

I thought about putting it in the rotary...but I about got sick thinking about what would come out in the end! LOL - I figured it was easier for me to pick and choose what came off, rather than leaving it to chance with this material! And the time saver was huge. It took me a couple hours (at most) to grind down the rough on the wheels...which would have taken a week or two in the rotary - at the very least - just to get them ready for the vibe. Patience...it's not my strongest asset! LOL
