Here's What 32 Days Of Tumbling Does To Petrified Wood

John-Edmonton · Feb 28, 2021

I started a little over a month ago with some rough looking chunks of petrified wood. After weekly grit changes, a nice polish and a 3 hour burnish of ivory snow soap, this is the final product. I lost nearly 30% of the weight using different grits. I dig lots of petrified pieces wood, quartz, some amethyst and garnets digging for gold.

I LIKE 'em. Nice job. Thanks for posting them John. You have a pair of calibrated eyeballs to spot those pieces in their wild state.

Very nice! That's a lot of tumbling but worth it in the end.

I've been tumbling a lot of rocks recently too. Fun hobby and those came out great.

Ha! Nice story, but I'm not buying it. What those are, actually, folks, are wood chips from Pebbles Flintstone's tot lot in Bedrock Park! :lol:

Those look really nice !!! I have been tempted at time to try to polish rocks but only use my tumbler for coins.

Wow those look great! Lot of work to get there!

All that tumbling sure did bring out the beauty of those stones.
