I had an idea and would like to get all of you to look at. I have seen some very beautiful wraps from a lot of members on this forum. Please look at these and let me know what you think. Montana Agate with a hercules knot start. Side view Another Montana Agate with a hercules knot start. Back view Another Montana Agate with a hercules knot start. Picture does not give the stone justice. Back view A very dark Montana Agate. Randy - This is one of my Cosmic wraps. I know the more I twist the wire around stones I will get more experience and better. I have just started up a cab machine - Beaver 64 - that was given to me by a friend, soon I will have cabs to wrap and not just tumbled stone. Thank you for looking Tom & Debby

Tom and Debby, the first two are my favorites and don't hate me but I like the back of the second one better than the front. It's really a cool concept, I'm looking forward to seeing how you develop it. The only feedback I can lend is that the neck of the second bail looks one twist too long, but that's if I'm really looking. I also like the way your end swirls cascade around the third one. Hey, congrats on the cabber! Can't wait to hear what's coming next! Jo

You are really developing your own style and working with round wire makes it harder to do and yet, it works for you! Tumbles are also much harder to wrap and you have mastered it! The only tip I could give would be to work on tightening up the bindings. The last couple of pictures show a wonderful, smooth wrap that looks like you have been doing this for a long time! Keep up the great work! Fran

Tom & Debby,
That red agate is absolutely outstanding! I like the wrap on the dark one the best.

I like them a lot too, very nice stones. I do a lot of wrapping on polished stones , not just cabs (since I don't have a cab machine), just a vibe tumbler. Any way Nice work.
