    Petrified wood has always been a fave of mine Brun. I have a large gorgeous piece and a few smaller pieces. Been a rock and gem lover since I was young. Happy Australia Weekend! You have a lot of tumbling projects happening. That’s awesome!

    G'day Brun..
    It's an amazing process..
    But by golly it takes a bit..
    I am soo impatient...
    the waiting of weeks would be soo exciting..
    And then off it goes again..
    Can't wait to see it done..
    From just a rock to a 'marvel'..
    Great stuff..

    5:26 You didn't miss it. I had a similar sampel. I don't know how correct it is, but I thought it was a transformation error where the two plates were moving in opposite directions.🤔 It's really interesting. By the way, next week they will be even more shiny.😍

    They are lovely rocks. I have a BIG piece of petrified wood (as opposed to slightly worried or scared!). I found it when I was about 8 years old. And it still has pride of place in my home

      @@mintycactus1152 hi, thank you. Yes I keep seperate ceramics for use with each grit type, it’s easier and when I get to burnishing stage it all gets cleaned up same. Just makes sense in my storage area. I have sections for each grit type and keep ceramics with each type. I don’t need grit sticking to ceramics etc if it’s not same. Especially for the polishing process. 😀when I polish I use ceramics specifically for polish.
