Dan, that is a very neat wrap for a neat shaped stone. Love the way you do your unusual wraps!....mel

I like that style with hollows between the wrap and the cab. Beautiful work!

Thanks guys. This particular type of WWR agate has a lot of red in it that doesn't quite show up in the pic. It takes a great polish but has a little bit of pitting, I don't think the pits are too bad though.
This wrap is a bit different from the previous 'S' shapes I've done. I sort of borrowed a little bit of Rocklicker's style of wrapping to give it a cleaner look. Thanks for the inspiration Steve...

Very nice one there Dan! I really like how you have so much of the stone showing, I might have to get you to wrap a couple of cabs for me...

Really love the shape of both the stone (I gotta figure out how to do that) and the wrap. Nice, simple (style, not effort) wrap. You're on a tear.

Very nicely done Dan. I like how much of the stone is showing. Nice freeform to boot. Daniel

Dan, I love how you use the negative space! I just cannot make those curves with a WF!

Ronda, it's easier than you think. It just takes some practice and patience to learn. I like using this shape to work around fractures and pits. It's not as wastefull as you might think especially when it fits right in between some nasty spots on a slab. Dan

YES! That is flippin' sweet! That would have to be one of my favourite rock/wrap combo I have ever seen on this board. It's a BIG call I know, but I'm willing to put it out there. Well done, mate. Very well done.
