Hello everyone,
So I just found this place. I actually had this forum mixed up with different board. Anyhow I have been hunting, tumbling, cutting, wrapping and trading rock for a little while now. I looked around today and notice that there are some really good wrappers here. Look like I can learn a lot here. Hope to hear from you all. I will get some of my work posted as time permits.

Welcome to the board Christopher. All here are very friendly and will help in any way. Just ask. We like to see pictures, too. Just try to keep them about 6" x 6" so you don't have to scroll to see them. Also, where are you from? Ken

I am from Bakersfield, California Ken. Seen your tutorial Bikerrandy. I have always used hafhard wire and have stuggled with the flowing swirls I am going to try using the dead soft like you recommened I am sure it will help. I have always been afraid that the soft wire just wouldn't hold up especially for the bail. Here are a couple pics of my work. I cut and wrapped all the stones LARIMAR MEXICAN FIRE OPAL AUSTALIAN OPAL DENDRITIC AGATE CHRYSOPRASE FIRE AGATE AUSTRALIAN OPAL BRUNEAU JASPER FIRE AGATE LARIMAR I think that will do for tonight. I look forward to your comments. Thank you all for the warm welcome. Christopher

All look very good. Lots of fire in that second opal. Like how you did the top of the last one filling in the negative with crossed wires. Cool. Ken
