Hi everyone, Most of the cabs are not new, but they all are freshly wrapped: I made these three cabs not too long ago, now I wrapped them: This one is a local material, cabbed this summer. I labeled it "ungroovable" until I built the grooving device. These days I grooved it: The next two pics are a pendant that I made for a family friend. She gave me the tiger eye which was already shaped as you see and she only wanted to wrap it for her. I also made a dome (the stone was flat, having two parallel faces) A gorgeous cab made of Arizona pet wood by Titania. Thank you again Nichole! And the whole batch: Thanks for looking, Adrian

Drool..... I love them all, but I think the pet wood from Titania is my favorite. It has such beautiful colors, and of course your wrap doesn't hide a thing!

Adrian: All are beauties, but I think that Nicole's cab steals the show, she is quite the cabber, and it looks really classy in that groove wrap. Your local rock is interesting,it it purple in the middle? Very cool!!! Like the angle on the tiger eye. The trio is super!!! I don't know how you wrap those bails!!! Amber

Great job on all Adrian. I'm particularly impressed by the Az pet wood, you did a great job on the one concave curve.

Thank you all, yes I agree the cab from Titania takes the show. Roxy, I was missing your one of a kind comments lately, glad to see you back! Amber, yes that local rock has purple in the middle. Scott, the wire must be bent on those concave curves a bit tighter than the concave curve of the stone, this way it will stay inside the groove. Thank you Randy, coming from a wrap master like you I appreciate these words even more. Adrian

When I look at your groove cabs I realize how amateurish my attempts are. I bow to you oh master of the groove.

Adrian, those are all beautiful! I also am impressed by the concave curve. All the cabs are well-done, but I really like your perfection in wrapping the bails (now that I've tried a couple, I have an even greater appreciation for your skills!). Garry

Hey, Pporky, what a pleasant surprise! Glad to "see" you again! I hope all's well there down under. Tony, your groove wraps are anything but amateurish. Anyway, if you wanna improve your technique, bring some partially finished groove wraps to Moab, together with a round nose and a flat nose pliers Adrian

Great set of cabs, Adrian, and great grooving by the groove master. They all look so clean and sharp! T
