That looks way better than my first one !! I will share with you the best advice I got when I was starting, try square wire. It, for me, was much easier to work with than round!

I don't know guys, I think it is square wire. look at the crisp shadow lines.
Looks great Tom and Debby. That's a beautiful cab. You've framed it nicely.

looks like square wire to me. I like the wrap. Awesome cab btw; I see a Koala eating eucalyptus leaves...

After further review, I think it is square wire. I withdraw my previous post, exept the part about it being better than my first ones!

First silver is some easier to work with. We are using SQUARE Argentium Silver wire. We are taking a class on silver soldering and Argentium Silver does not tarnish as much as Sterling. I used 21g square and 22g 1/2 round and we thought two wires would be the best for the stone. Thanks for all the comments. We're SQUARE now Debby & Tom
