All nice! I definately like the twist with the first one. It sets up a nice movement. The slightly tighter twist seems to cause a vibration or visual ripple. T

OK, I have a question. I'm new to this and I'm trying to train my big fat fingers to work with the teeny tiny wire that I can just barely see with my bifocals, so bear with me! I really like the first picture. My question is - is that twisted round, or twisted half-round wire? And what guage is it? It's really striking. Tom

Beautiful shine on those cabs. Your wraps are really nice too. I like the new criss cross ones.

You did a beautiful job with these wraps. That first cab is flat out amazing and the twisted wire accents it beautifully.

Tom its 2 strands of 24 gauge round twisted together. It ends up fitting a groove cut for 20 gauge wire perfectly.

I can totally see why you are liking the twisty groove one, it's gorgeous! Love the criss-cross one too.
