Finished this one tonight. I love this particular cab - I probably could have done a much better job on it with a Genie or other similar cabbing machine, but hey - I think I did ok with just an Expando wheel and SiC belts! This particular tigereye flashes the most amazing red/rootbeer/copper fires at you in the right light! Only piece I've had like it.

I wrapped it as simply as I could, in 14K gold-filled 21ga square and 1/2-round, and only 2 strands. I wanted to show as much of the flash as I could, yet have it secure in the wrap. I know what happens to tiger eye cabs that get dropped onto a hard floor!

Thanks for looking, and I hope y'all liked it!

You did a great job with both the cab and the wrap. The gold wire is really beautiful against the stone.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
