You're really good in both cabbing and wrapping those crosses.

Thanks folks... I learned a lesson on this one. It's a bit too thick and was hard to do a 2 wire wrap on. Luckily I started cutting my slabs thinner... about 3/16" now instead of 1/4". It's only a little bit but makes a big difference. Dan

Your crosses are beautiful, Dan. The wraps you add really add to the overall feeling too. Keep posting - and thanks for the side shots - I'd love to make something like this for my mom one day - and seeing how the wraps are done really helps me visualize what's going on. Well...start to visualize anyway... thanks for the photos!

Oh, I just wanted to add...you're getting really good at keeping the square wire "square" - that's my biggest challenge with it, keeping it from twisting! I go through more dang painter's tape and clamps and cuss words.
