Very nice! I love groove wraps. I just prefer the simplicity of them.

Now, that is a great looking first batch! The wire wrap at the top looks good but you will see so much improvement as you try more and more! Round wire is harder to work with also.

Fran, The wrap was the very first that I did before the groves. It was hard to do because I used some 18ga wire that was left over from installing light ballasts and the wire was somewhere between medium and full hard and was hard to work. I've since gotten some dead soft to work with. Thanks all for the encouragement and hoping for much improvement to follow

I think they look great, just be sure to make the bail loops large enough for a chain clasp to fit thru.
It was a mistake I made on my first ones.

Very nice, I would like to try the grooving once I get some more cabs made. I need to learn to wire wrap too.

They sure look good from here Gary... especially that one on the top left... Oh, I think I forgot to thank you for the stones and slabs. Thank you very much Gary, Diane and I had a great time going through that box  ... What are the little yellow mossy looking stones? Chris |

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. It is my plan to really get after it. I've got probably 500 cabs marked out to cut and or grind but lacking in diamonds for the shaping. when those get here--- stand by!
