I was demonstrating wire wrapping at the show Saturday and this is what I came up with. It's not as perfect as I would like since I was distracted...the bottom wrap isn't centered perfectly symmetrical and the ribbons aren't as tight as I usually like them. it still came out nice. Pics of side and back for the curious.

My bottom binding wraps get off-centered all the time but it is what it is. lol... You do beautiful work, that one is flawless and has a very clean look to it. I love the ribbon-style embellishments too, yours flow perfectly

I really like how this cab shape looks wrapped up; I'll have to cut a few more like it.

Stones aren't perfect and symetrical, why must the wraps be?

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)
