Does groove wrapping fall into the catagory of wire wrapping? I had to get this done post hast as the sister-in-law's birthday is Friday. I'm not real crazy about how the top turned out. It' the fingers fault, they couldn't do what the brain was seeing! Next time!   praise or criticism , all is welcome. thanks..........g |

Hey, Gary,
Nice cab--the shape you chose is perfect for the markings, and a good, clean wrap shows it off the advantage. I'm not sure what you don't like about the bail--you must be seeing something I'm not seeing.

I'd say groove wraps would count as wire wraps. Looks good to me although the bail is a little big for the cab.

I like the stone a lot and the wrap looks good. I'm no wire wrapper, but to me it looks like you could roll the loop you have there down on itself creating 2 smaller loops perpendicular to the surface of the stone. It should look cool, be smaller, and allow the stone to lay flat better. It would be like a single iteration of a Prusik hitch, so you could bend it from what you have, versus having to re-do it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrusikI may be able to draw what I am thinking, unless you see it in your mind's eye. |

Looks good to me Gary. I agree - groove wraps count, too.

yup, groove warps count. that looks great. Just my opinion, but, I think the bail is a little too tall for the stone. Just my opinion though. What is that behind the wrap?
