Curious how some of you are getting good tumbled finishes on both blades and titanium. I have messed around with a few blades and done an etch, followed by tumbling with various media. I have gotten favorable results.
Ti has been a whole 'nother story. I have not gotten anything that I am really crazy about. I use a mix of ceramic pyramid looking media and driveway rocks, which is basically river rock. I only have a vibrating tumbler. I don't know if a rotary is the answer or what, but all I ever seemed to get is a matte sandblasted look. I'm looking for that sort of hammered look.
Any hints on how you guys do either one of these would be appreciated.
