          How long do you tumble them for Johnny?

            I tumble it for four weeks, one week on 80 grit, one week on 220 grit, one week on 600 gt. or pre polish, and final week Aluminum oxide for hard stones.

              Hey, Johnny. Love the tumbled rock. Whether it's rock, glass, or anything else that gets tumbled, the triangle emerges as one of nature's true natural shapes.

                Some of those triangular shapes, were ground into that shape before putting in tumbler so I could wire wrap those into pendants.

                Those are so beautiful you've inspired me to dig out my tumbler and get a couple batches on the go this winter.

                  Nice work man! Those are so cool! And those are just entirely waste flakes?

                    A lot of those are waste flakes we pick up hunting points, some of them I grind into shapes that are easy to wire wrap into pendants before putting in the tumbler though.
