These wraps are on some cabs that I bought with those black onyx cabs a few weeks ago.

I forget what this one is. I repolished it. Wrapped in Sterling silver.

This one was smaller. I don't remember what it is either. I would have to look at the receipt. This one had a good polish already. Wrapped in Argentium.

This one was dyed a dark blue. I repolished t as it had an orange peel effect. Most of the dye came off. But I like it better this way. You couldn't see these lines with all that dye.

This one my daughter got online. It had some pits, so I repolished it. I think the 600 soft wheel lost a piece of diamond which imbedded in the stone. I can't get it out now. It wasn't there before I polished it. Wrapped in argentium.

This is the one I made myself. Wrapped in Argentium.

What do you think?

You did a great job on the repolishing. That first wrap is really elegant looking. You could advertise the one with the diamond in it as being diamond encrusted...lol.

What size wire do you use?

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

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
