Snakes and Stones

Originally when I started rock tumbling I took a bunch of stones from my backyard and tossed them in the barrels to see what would/wouldn't tumble.
I liquified about 75% of the rocks I tossed in (too soft/sedimentary), and a lot of them wouldn't hold a polish.
I recently went back and ran these 'surviving' stones through my UV-18 vibe tumbler...much better now! (shown below)

In the Fall spirit-I snapped a few photos today.
I could add puns and and/or bad jokes, but, I am not going to (this time). ;)

My mother saw the Halloween snake photos above and said 'You don't use that Wega Board do you?'
Wega board eh? Sounds like an amusing video on YouTube I saw before:

'Normal' Ball python

I notice we broke 1.5M views! Thanks All! 2M here we come!

In other news: during my travels today I saw this device pictured below:

Took me a few minutes to figure out what it is considering it is a Scrimshaw piece.
I am actually surprised there are quite a few designs of the time incorporating snakes.

Anyone care to guess what it is? :)

A distance measuring device? What a cool design, whatever it is!

Oh wait, is it a pizza cutter? :D

Awwwww so close! It is an old 'Pie Crimper'! (aka Jagging wheel)
A quick Google Search will show that are actually several serpent-based ivory hand-carved designs--I never knew until today! :)

Well I don't make pies OR pasta from scratch, so there ya go. Nothing for size reference either. But what a COOL design!

It reminded me of some gadgets I've seen though- https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/d23...2&odnBg=FFFFFF

I know right!
I bake every now and then and I have a set of pie crimpers too...I call those 'my fingers' and if I'm getting fancy: tines from a fork work as well...;)
