ummm...don't see the butchering at all....I think it's pretty! The only thing I see even after a few minutes of studying it is at the bottom of the cab...maybe tweek your bottom bind a little over to the right....shoot other than that...it completely awesome! Love that style!

thanks everyone!
the butchering is that it did not come out as pictured in the book, the stone is wrapped seperately and is supposed to sit inside a diamond shaped frame from the bracelet and the wires coming off of the stones wrap bind it to that diamond frame work with lots of swirlies and added sparklies if one wanted them.
Its for me so I can live with the butcher job and will work on another one now that I know the pitfalls of making them and modify the pattern to suit my style of wrapping

It doesn't matter if it looks like the one in the book as long as it looks good and yours does. I like the twisted wire in it and the stone is beautiful.

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5
