Here's one I was making for someone that didn't make the grade. It looks ok but I just can't get the stone tight. So... this one stays home and I'll have to try again with another. I learned a few things from doing it so it's not a total loss.... It's a pretty stone eh? Front Side Thanks, Dan

Wow I would have been afraid to wrap that one, it looks a bit delicate. That's really a bummer that you can't get the stone tight, it's such a pretty one.

It looks wonderful! But I have to admit it looks skinnier than the previous ones

Actually, I don't see anything wrong with it! This is the time when you experiment and come up with a "fix-it" by adding an extra wrap or The stone is beautiful!

Looks good. Love the stone. It does look slightly smaller than the other ones, not as tall or wide. Looks good though. Tonja

Thanks Y'all... I wish I could fix it. It's the 2nd attempt on this one. You guys picked up on the problem already, it went too long in the coarse stages and got too small. There has to be a little bit of an edge for the wire to hold on to and it's just not there. Can't get enough tension to hold the stone securely.
I have more Green Zebra though, so there will be more.
Thanks again, Dan
