Some Rocks......

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 23rd Nov 2016

I think some rocks just like to test my patience.  Case in point is the Indian Blanket Sphere I have been working on for the last month or more.  It just keeps on developing rough spots that do not polish.  For the fourth time it is going back to rough grind, this time with fingernail polish over it in attempts to get behind the problem area.  It may just end up in the reject pile.  Most unfortunate, I was looking forward to see it finished.

The Australian Crazy Lace sphere is almost round.  It looks like it will be very pretty with its red and yellow pattern.  Also the Dragon Blood Stone sphere is close too.  This is the first sphere I have worked on of this material.  It will be interesting to see the challenges it will give me.  

Today I lost a pulley off one of the saws.  I can't find it any where.  It just disappeared.  Alan thinks I need to expand my search area.  Good thing he is off tomorrow to help me look.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  Thanks for your support in this endeavor if have started.
