I'm hoping one of you guys that tumble would take it on for $$$ of course. :)

I'm still wondering which way to jump with this pontiled cathedral pepper sauce. :confused:
Yea or Nay?
I would say yea to tumbling it.
Here is one I did. I couldn't find a picture from before I tumbled it but the finish looked very much like the chemists bottle next to it in the first picture. Roy

Any chance you'd be interested in taking a shot at mine, Roy? :)

Semar,
Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'm still learning how to tumble myself. I only do inexpensive bottles at that, plus my time is very limited right now. My tumbler is sitting idle now as I have to many other things going on, so I would have to say no. Others on this forum tumble all the time and should be able to help you out. Roy
