Excellent work Jason. A lot of little details that are easy to overlook like the twisted wire in the middle.

What?! Omg. Those are really nice. Usually I can pick a favorite among a group but these are all too nice. Really great designs, your wrapping really elevates and adds to the cabs which does them justice. I’m planning to try to find some time to learn. I’ve seen such amazing craftsmanship, I’d love to be able to do something half as good.

Love 'em! My favorite is #1 (I'm partial to the way the front wires swoop down on the photo's left--this creates some unexpected and elegant interest for me. And #4, I love the curls that aren't overwhelming, and emphasize the cut of the cab. All are great, though.

I finished up the cabs for these wraps before Thanksgiving. With having to make time for two holiday dinners for the family...and tearing apart two of the completed wraps to start over, the wraps took more time to finish than I wanted. Thanks for being patient with me brybry !     Lol, wasn't sweating it brother! I knew you would be doing family time for the holidays. Awesome, awesome work! She'll love'm! |

Excellent pieces. You are super productive! Thanks PS!  I'm going to print your post and hang it on my fridge...so I can point at it when my wife says I'm not being productive! LOL Impressive on both the cabbing and the wire wrapping, nice work. Thank you my friend! I gave myself a headache trying to come up with designs I was hoping Bry would be happy with! LOL (Not saying Bryan is picky...but I am! LOL) Excellent work Jason. A lot of little details that are easy to overlook like the twisted wire in the middle. Thanks Chad! I think I need to "up" the magnification in my reading glasses after these! LOL What?! Omg. Those are really nice. Usually I can pick a favorite among a group but these are all too nice. Really great designs, your wrapping really elevates and adds to the cabs which does them justice. I’m planning to try to find some time to learn. I’ve seen such amazing craftsmanship, I’d love to be able to do something half as good. Thank you SO much! When I first started wire-wrapping, I watched several tutorials on YouTube until I understood a few of the basic "whys" when it comes to wire-wrapping. When the time comes for you to start, don't hesitate to tag me (or PM me) and I'll see if I know the answers to any questions. If I don't know...I'll fake it...you won't know the difference! LOL (Totally kidding on that last part! LOL) Love 'em! My favorite is #1 (I'm partial to the way the front wires swoop down on the photo's left--this creates some unexpected and elegant interest for me. And #4, I love the curls that aren't overwhelming, and emphasize the cut of the cab. All are great, though. Thanks Susan! I'm gonna be honest. I was completely on the fence about #4. I didn't have that last swirl on the bottom right at first...but the more I looked at it, I saw I definitely had to add that to try and somewhat balance out the perimeter. As long as Bryan's ok with it (or more accurately, his wife!) than I'm ok with it!  I finished up the cabs for these wraps before Thanksgiving. With having to make time for two holiday dinners for the family...and tearing apart two of the completed wraps to start over, the wraps took more time to finish than I wanted. Thanks for being patient with me brybry ! Lol, wasn't sweating it brother! I knew you would be doing family time for the holidays. Awesome, awesome work! She'll love'm! Thanks Brother! I'll get these out in the mail tomorrow...and address them to "The Mushroom King"! LOL |

Beautiful work, Jason! You are absolutely astounding me with your creativity.  Thank you so much my friend! I'm tellin' ya...it was a lot of "pokin' and hopin'" on these! LOL (Those first two were halfway done and then I trashed the whole thing on both of them and started over. Nothing was going right. I had to walk away for a couple days...thankfully the holiday happened so I could let them go for awhile! That doesn't usually happen to me...so it was really frustrating...like I had forgotten how to work the wire! LOL) |

I really like the first round wrap, for some reason it makes me think of a musical instrument . Nicely done. Patty

Excellent!!! I like the second one best. It's like it has a crown- very regal. I love how different they are. Someone will be lucky this Christmas. |

I actually did try to purposely make the "frill" compact at the top. That stone really is amazing...and I tried hard with this one to keep the attention on the stone. I felt I had a bit more leeway with bedazzling on the last two (especially the silver wrap), since there wasn't too much pattern to speak of... |

Got these in last night. Way better in person, the pics aren't sloutches either, but my comments woulda made a sailer blush, lol. Jason knocked this little project out of the park. Everyone (not my wife) that I've shown them to think they're gorgeous. Thank you so much brother, jasoninsd, for doing these. |

I'm still ooohing and ahhhing over the material you sent! Worked a few more pieces of "stuff" today in fact!  I try to tell people it's the same thing for me...I look WAY better in person than I do in pictures! (Which isn't necessarily all that accurate! LOL) You know I'm still going to be holding my breath until we actually get the boss's approval on these! |

Dang jasoninsd You're getting really good at this wrapping stuff. I'm impressed. I wrapped some barbed wire around an old juniper post once. Somehow it didn't look like what you do. |
