It only takes one wrap. You know this right? Don't waste time trying to fight it. Your wraps are great. There is something about taking the rocks you yourself find and bringing them to a work of art that someone will be thrilled to wear. That agate has a wonderful pattern in it.
I really have to try the groove wrap but cutting a groove in a beautiful cab would scare the heck out of me.

I have been cutting the groove when they are just a slab that had the outline cut. They are not too nice then so no problem. I don't think I would like cutting into a cab either.

I would be afraid to cut a cab with a grove also. With my luck it would break. These two are wonderful! The agate is beautiful and that jasper has a lot of depth in the pattern. Keeps you looking at it once you start. Fran

Nicely done! I wish mine were looking that good. I've been cutting finished stones with no problem but I can't seem to get the depth right so I end up working the girdles again anyway. Tony

Great grooves, I love the way it keeps the stone as the focus.
