Thanks Sneaky!

The pendant fella was fun to do, but he really took his toll on my diamond burrs. I tried some more pebbles, but the poor, worn-out burrs just couldn't cut it... Literally.
Admittedly they were of the famous "El Cheapo" brand, so I'm glad they went as far as they did. I recieved some more burrs of the equally famous "Cheap As Sh*t" brand today (Gawd bless ebay!), so another couple of stones shall get a make-over before these burrs die the death as well(I hope it's a slow one).
I really need to find some sedimentry stone like Paipo's greywacke... although, I'm not sure if that's any easier on his burrs.
I'm afraid I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy some quality tools!
