Are You Ready to TUMBLE...? - 9/6/2009 4:33:16 PM    Staunton Dan Posts: 2251 Joined: 5/5/2005 From: Batesville, VA Status: offline This 3 piece honey amber whiskey is nicer than it looks here. This is how it looked prior to going into the tumbler. I am just using aluminum oxide and will run it for at least a week. It should be a beuat when it comes out.

There are so many variables. I commend you on you knowledge. Personally, I will only tumble bottles for my own use. I can't imagine doing it for others as everybody's preferences and expectations are so diverse. Many should be glad that there are those of you out there that have the knowledge  and are willing to put their reputation on the line to professionally tumble a bottle. My hat is off to you, Ry. _____________________________ Just when you think that you have life figured out, someone changes the rules. (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 3

Most are more expensive than the Jar Dr. but some like Aluminum Oxide is cheaper. Also there might be a dealer closer to you that you could save on shipping costs. http://www.lortone.com/abrasives_polish.html _____________________________ Just when you think that you have life figured out, someone changes the rules.
