Randy has been an artist for a long time. For those that do not know he has a excellent tutorial on wrapping in the wrapping section. You have yourself a beautiful piece James. Jim

It is a cycle of money Jim. We find, cut, buy metals, shape them, and where does the work of art end up at? Man, we got to start getting stuff one of these millenniums. Darn ladies got us right where they want us. Randy's tutorial is there waiting for the wrappers LOL

Randy's wraps are always super clean and I love the way he accents the stone with a more spartan design rather than obstructing the stone with too much frippery.....Mel

..... and he hits it out of the ballpark again! Really sweet cab and another beautiful wrap! Randy's artistry is only surpassed by his generosity.

Yes, he received a spit of coral and look what I got.
I reviewed the 6000X microphotography carefully, assuming I would at least find a scratch on the wire. NOT. So I posted it at high mag. At that magnification every defect jumps out.(exaggerating 6000 ha).

Thanks for the kind words y'all!! I received another totally amazing chunk of coral from James yesterday, This one is gonna cut some really cool cabs. The colors aren't like anything I've ever seen, no pics yet.... you'll have to wait for the finished pieces. lol

Roger- to get good at wire wrapping, you must do three a day.... but I'm not sure that you have enough wire. lol

Randy you are a total artist!! Someday I will hire you to make an item for my wife and my daughter. Still looking for the right material. So you do any carving yet? - Mark
