Hi All, I finished up some new wraps. These are all Ohio Flint Ridge Flint cabs that I cut, polished and wrapped. Thanks for looking, Michael

Awesome wraps! Flint Ridge is one of my favorite materials and so much variety too as exhibited by your fine specimens....Mel

I like them all, but the 3rd one has a great contrast of colors and that does it for me!!!

Those are all great. That flint is pretty cool looking. I have a few small pieces of it from my dad's collection that he gave me before he died and he said it was from Flint Ridge. They don't look as nice as your material but then again he was just picking up pieces as specimens not for lapidary value.

Thank you everyone for the good words. I started out in lapidary in Ohio, so I tend to gravitate to Flint Ridge Flint. The flint deposit has just about every color and combination you can imagine... toughest part is getting it all in one slab that is cab sized!

Awesome wraps!! Hey, what kind of wire did you use for the bindings in pic #3? Where did it come from?

Great job! I like the pastel colors in the flint. Also like the line with the dramatic color change in the third one.
