Anyone tried dry tumbling with anything other than corn cob media and walnut? I'm a fan of lizard bedding, but it seems like there could be other everyday household items that could work, so long as it's softer than brass, fairly dense, and not too coarse or fine.
Things that come to mind:
coffee grounds
rice
pearl barley
corn meal
cous cous
quinoa
whole grains of wheat
grape nuts cereal
Sand seems like a really bad idea, but I bet someone has tried it.
Sure, some of these would not be cost effective. I just like to experiment. Plus, The nearest source of corn cob media or walnut bedding is two hours away. I just had to use all my ground walnut on my slippery road so that the power company could get up to my house to fix a blown transformer.
By the way: Ground walnut provides AMAZING traction on ice.
