Looking pretty darn good Mike. Only suggestion I'd make is to mark your bezels at 1/8 inch or so. Your domes are looking pretty darn good but I think that should you want to mount any of your stones in factory mountings, you'll find thinner bezels fit more easily in the settings. It also makes the stones a bit lighter in weight. If you're gonna wire wrap though, this is probably not as important....Mel

I make the girdles about 1/16th, this makes them easier to wire wrap.

Awesome cabs Mike! I'm glad you asked the question and posted pics of your girdle width. It seems like most of my cabs are about how yours are pictured but I'm glad Randy and Mel commented on the thickness of their girdles. This topic sounds kind of crazy huh? Don't let Shannon or Amber get a hold of this one. Guys talking about their Girdle Widths?!?!!? Steve

HaHa, I will have to tell Amber and Shann! Those cabs look really nice to me!. I have made a lot that are way too thick and am trying to make sure they are a lot thinner over all and a smaller girdle. Really helps! Fran

The shine looks great - girdle looks even but the pro's here are probably right, since they do the wrapping etc. Karock

Fantastic cabs Mike! The girdle is nice and straight. I've marked a few and done a few without, an I agree, the mark is really helpful!
