The next one will be a lot better. The other one is a piece of self-collected pastelite from Burro Creek.

My first one, I broke 2 wires. Doh! I love the beads on the second one. Perfection.

I started a Tree of Life wrap...got 98% of the way done...and ripped it apart and threw it away! LOL - I thought they'd be pretty simple...but apparently they're not for me! LOL

That second wrap is gorgeous! Love the "simplicity"...comparatively speaking!

Tree of Life - One word: Ugh. They are a pain in the patootie! I do like them better when the cab fits the whole wrap and it's more of a solid color.

The second wrap is awesome! Love it.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

The tree of life type wrap takes a lot of patience in my humble opinion. I've done them mostly with chip beads but only a few with a cab. I was just thinking I could do a tree of life with a cab as the new challenge but then I remembered I have done them before so it wouldn't be a new thing, darn, back to the drawing board for an idea.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
