I'm paying more attention to smaller details now, I've cleaned up the way that I do the binding wrap around the bail and also there are very few end cuts that are visible, I might be able to sell these. ;D Actually, the first one is another gift for my wife. It's similar to one that I did the other day only slightly smaller and opposite. It's another Marra Mamba..... This stuff is beautiful, it's moonstone that Jo (naturenut) finds locally. In person, it reflect light big time, and the shine is amazing. It's also pretty hard, it cuts and grinds like it's around 6- 6.5 on the scale. This is the first one that I've wrapped, I'm going to do another in silver this weekend........

Boy you sure showed that wire who's boss. Love the balance you incorporate into your work. I'm very proud to say that that green moonstone came from my area. I can only hope to turn out a piece half as nice as those, Randy. WTG. Jo

Nice ones Randy! Hmmm, not sure which I like best, they are both beautiful. I'd have to say the Moonstone. Im really loving the material that I got from Jo.

Beautiful work, Randy, I'm looking for your name so I can see all of your new creations!

They are both beautiful! I did not see any details that need worked on in your past wraps but we are our own toughest critics ;D

Randy they are absolutely beautiful. They are so dainty and elegant. The song "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John comes to mind when I look at them. I love these as much as the song .

As chrisperez said your 'style' flows through the wraps and the cabs, as always your work is truly amazing. Enjoying seeing them.
