Does anyone know anything about tumbling? I have seen videos about anodizing knives, and they tumble them in different things for a few days at a time to change the finish.

I have heard that using wallnut shells works, so I was thinking maybe pistachio shells?

Thanks

When tumbling, you can use several different types of media. You’d be surprised at the variety.

Can you use sugar?

That would make a “sweet” finish 😛

One Drop’s “Pyramite” finish is a type of tumbling.
