It's been awhile since I've done any wrapping but I finally sat down yesterday and completed some that I had started many moons ago. This first one is a Yellow Moss from Woodward Ranch. Not real happy with the bail on it... These next 2 are Crazy Lace in SS. side and the 2nd side Another Yellow Moss from WWR. side And a group shot to show the color in the stones.... Thanks for lookin'! Dan

It seems like I don't visit this part of the forum enough...but glad I checked out those wraps Dan. Those are unbelievably perfect! and gorgeous! Sweet cabs as well. Those Crazy Laces really knocked my socks off. Steve

Dan, I almost forgot how beautiful wraps you do! All of them are beautiful, but the Crazy Laces are pure perfection! The loops in the top of the first Crazy Lace look like you holded the cab and gave it some strong movements/shakes in order to make the top wires bend like a whip. Adrian

They are all beautiful but that second Lace is awesome and that second Moss is my favorite hands down. I Love the shape and how it is framed.

I don,t see any wraps, I've been blinded by the spectacular shine of the rocks!!! I really like the second lace and the last one - I THINK you did a great job wrapping, I haven't managed to get past the shine!!!

Thanks for the nice comments folks. Felt good to do some wraps again... finally got past my mental block that kept me from being creative with the bails. The bails on these were inspired by RockLicker.
Roxy - The stone in the last wrap was not done on a cab grinder... it was shaped using a WorkForce tile saw and then tumbled.... I guess you could do that shape on a grinder but to get the nice deep concave curve you would need to use some small wheels... about 2" I would think...
Thanks again folks, Dan

He didn't want to share with you, Tony. Seriously - I think it's because of the glare off the stones! Awesome polish on those cabs! Oh - and I really like that last crazylace. ;D

Wow, I really like the yellow moss. That shape and wrap are fantastic. The others are only beautiful. That one is a knock out! Fran
