Great cabs and wraps. The bails are a bit heavy for me, but love the rest.

[FrogAndBearCreations]

Thats a great bunch of wraps!

Those are very nice. The turquoise really jumps out at me.

[Bikerrandy]

Beautiful work, every one of those looks perfect. I think my favorite is the Prudent Man.

It is really hard to pick a favorite! I think the royal sahara is jumping out at me but man! They are all looking great!

I use 22 ga wire on all of my wraps so maybe using a small gauge wire would help with the look. just my :2cents:
All of them are looking good. I wish I could get my coils as tight and neat as yours.

Well I guess I am the odd one, LOL But I love the bails, I like using a heavier gauge wire for the bails as I think it makes them more durable, my wraps/cabs take abuse as I wear them daily take them in and out of boxes, etc, and I hate when the thinner wire bends out of shape, I really love these as is!!

I have found that the people who buy them from me prefer the heavier gauge. I use it for the whole wrap. It's more expensive but I don't sell mine cheap like lots seem to do. Most of these are $75 or more.

Where do you sell your wraps? Just curious.

I've never worked in heavier than 21ga so may eventually try a heavier gauge myself.

mostly I've been selling at the farmers mkts in colorado where I sell fruit from the orchard where I've been working many years.

There are a lot of people here who sell wire wrapping and jewelry at the farmer's market too. I like to go for the veggies and fruits myself but they seem to do ok selling their crafts and such. Hope you do well on both the fruit and the jewelry.
