Wow Kim, I really like that one. Actually Agatemaggot will have to tell what kind of stone it is, I got it from him. It looks wonderful. I planned on giving some of these wraps as Christmas presents but I'm thinking I better keep most of them now. LOL

Wow, another great wrap! Kim: Can I ask a really stupid question? I've been messing around some with wirewrapping at the ranch ( I tend to be way better with barbed wire *L*) cause we don't have TV and such up there. I get some of the basics but am still horrible beyond all imagination. ( I tend to excel more at things that require lifting, bashing, hammering...you know the typical unskilled male stuff). My stupid question is: How do you cut off the wires you use for wrapping without a sharp end poking out. I got me some itty bitty cutters but still don't know what to do with the ends? Also, do you have a recommendation for a very (very) basic ( Idiot's Guide basic) book on wrapping cabs and tumbles?Thanks....mel

Another beauty, Kim. (Of course, the first thing I noticed was the two S's in the bail.)

Sabre52 you need to get a set of flush wire cutters.
Kim that wrap is great. How in the world do you get the wires at the top to stay together. Perfection!!!

I believe that is a piece of red and black agate from South America, at least that is what I bought it as. The chunk weighed something like 5 lbs. and didn`t have a trace of red in it. They must have been out in the garage smoking with the neighbor kid, when they named it. Harley

Wow, that is perfection. Your wraps are perfect and smooth. No kinks or spaces or nicks. Incredible. I think that is my favorite of your work so far. Thank you for sharing.
