well I got it done. Today's my anniversary, and I rushed this out last night. It really shows. Jennifer loved it anyway, so I may not be able to re-wrap it like I planned. We'll see... Mua ha ha ha!!! Thanks for looking. Nate

Thanks ladies! I have to admit, the more I look at it, the more I see wrong with it. My wife likes it, my mother-in-law likes it, a lady where Jennifer works liked it, but all I see are the flaws in it. Maybe the wire is just too big for it. IDK, it'll come to me.

I think you did good. I like the wire to accent the stone not overwhelm it Have you gotten any other cabs picked out of that slab??? slow down when you grind the next one and sell it. DON"T show it to your wife first...... or the next one will be gone also. good luck

Saying to you she likes it, you couldn't expect to a more beautiful love declaration from her The stone is gorgeous, it surely deserves an ellegant wrap. Adrian

Nice work and a great gift. Sounds like it was a big hit. Give it up dude, we are all our own worst critics. If she likes it that's what counts. Quit looking at what you think is wrong with it and just enjoy the adoration from your wife.

Thanks guys. It doesn't look bad from a distance, but the photo really brings out the flaws. I think Adrian hit it on the head - it deserves better. I'll figure something out.

Beautiful cab. I like the wrap. I only see one flaw, but probably only because it is blown up so big. I never thought about putting two bails. hmmmm. I like it.

I really try to be more creative than I am. I see what I want in my head, but have a hard time making the idea come to fruition. I am glad, though, that y'all like my double bail.
Thanks for the nice comments.

You're a step ahead of me Nate, I don't even see it in my head...lol. Guess that would mean I have an empty head...:-). I try to plan my wraps, even have designed them on paper but you know the best laid plans of men (and women) oft go astray. Actually the cab generally has a different idea of how the wrap should look. I know probably sounds crazy but it's true, at least for me.

Diane, it's true for sure. Most of the time the stone decides the wrap.
Amber, thank you. I am proud, just not satisfied (with the wrap) LOL.
