Tool marks frustrate me as well on some of the bails I put on my stones but I love the way you created the loops. Tanya

I hate tool marks but they happen sometimes. You could try to file the wire gently to get the worst of them out although I didn't even notice them in your piece.

LOve the balance that you maintained in this piece. So often I see a piece which looks overwrapped with so many things going on that you don't know were to begin looking first.
I guess you have to decide if the purpose of piece that you are making is intended to show off a beautiful stone. Or are you going to use a somewhat nondescript stone in which to show off the intricate weaves,spirals, loops, twists and bends of a very complex wrap.
In this case you have both going on and you maintained a proper balance between both worlds.
Thanks for sharing

MAY THE SHINE BE WITH YOU

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)
