I really like the first one, great colors and just begs to be wrapped in gold. The second one is awesome too. Third one is cool but like the first two better. How long did that 2nd one take you?

Cher, Glueing all the pieces together was the hard part, just because of the drying time on the glue. After the strips are made and dried they have to cut at an angle and then re-glued.. I am in the process of making some more...but will try and do a production process.
I thank you for thinking the first one is begging to be wire wrapped. I would love to do it, however, my hands do not work like they used to anymore. If you have anymore questions, please ask.

Hi,
I will gladly show how it is done. I will be cutting some strips tonight so I can start glueing them tomorrow.
It is really easy, just takes time to do.

Gary,
Those are spectacular! I'd also like to see a step-by-step tutorial. Among many other things, I'd love to learn how to do this as well. You do an awesome job; and really pick out material that compliments the other. Please keep us posted when you put any on e-bay. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
Steve

Nice work, Gary. The black and white one's an eye-popper, but the first one suits my eye more.
