You'll have to share your results when you're done! Did you tumble them until smooth? I could always leave mine in stage 2 for a couple weeks to round them out some more. lol

The last batch got stage 1 twice. Most of these were pretty smooth to start with so I have only been doing one week for each stage.

Just checking in! How are you all? @CluckNDoodle have you taken your petrified wood out of the tumbler?

Doing good over here! I just moved the petrified wood from stage 2 to stage 3 a couple of days ago but I transferred it to my vibratory tumbler so it should go a little faster now!
I've been steadily making bracelets for the past few days and my sausage fingers are NOT cooperating, lol! But they're pretty stone beads!
