Well, I pretty much just made this up as I went... no sketch or anything, just an idea.... then, I cut the cires way to short to do what I wanted ( again, I gotta' stop doing that ) so, everything after I did the bail was made up as I went.... I like it though... The stone is striped horse... at least I've seen it called that, but I can't seem to find anything to support that.... anyone care to chime in, feel free ..... waddaya' think? Chris

Mine was from Brazil, I had a 14 pound chunk of it a while back.

Perfection. You know , cutting the wires too short really worked for this stone. That wrap is ideal. Really shows off the cab nicely. Good job.

You did a great job! It is hard to believe you have only been wrapping a short while, you are such a natural at it! Fran

Very nice! You know, I don't ever sketch out ideas. As my daughter once told me, I go "where ever the wires might take me"!

I think it turned out beautifully. I usually do my wraps on the fly, I don't think I have ever sketched one out. Tami

Once again, thank you everyone.... Trust me, I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for you all... and Randy's tutorial.
And I only make sketches to get a general idea of what I'm going to do, belive me, once I start wrapping I don't rely on the sketch much. I just use the sketches to figure out where all my wires are going really.
