Is it hard to work with twisted wire?

I bought this wire from firemountain Robert, used it on the last laker I did too. It doesn't show well but the other wire used on this one is square. The twisted wasn't hard to work with at all, but the square gave me a bit of greif. Trying to decide what to do with the tails, I twisted the square wire and couldn't get it to straighten out so did the curly again.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Tweet, this one is done with just three wires. I normally use four wires but I wanted to see the twisted wire alone on the sides with this one so gave it a try. I think it was a wee bit easier working the twisted wire with the round wire like I did on the last laker.

Thanks KJ. This was 22 gauge square, the twisted wire is 19 gauge. For the most part, every thing I use is 22 gauge, including the half-round for binding. The only thing I did recently was switched from dead soft half round to half hard, I think it holds better.
