Very nice Chuck... Groove wrapping is one of my faves... very clean and takes nothing from the stone.

Nice work, I really like the side view! I'm glad it doesn't undercut too bad.

Good looking cab and I love that wrap method. Gonna have to show that to my wife, she's the talent in that area.
I am going to be tumbling some of that dallasite from bcrockhound soon. What kinda feeling did you get for it's hardness while cabbing?

looks great! Bcrockhound has us all wanting to know more about dallasite! Nice material, nice cab and wrap. Your workmanship is top flight.

You certainly do some very neat groove wraps! I really like that cab, too.

Nice one, it definitely lets the cab take center stage.

What Andy said. I'd not seen your groove wraps yet, this is sweet and I do love how it shows off the stone.

One reason (I've been told) that people don't buy my wraps is too much flash distracting from the stone, which was part off my initial hesitation about wrapping to begin with.
I've seen more interest in epoxied bales than in wraps.
This offers a nice compromise. What sort of groove setup do you use?

I will try to do a quick pictorial of my steps when I get a chance. Chuck |

I think my friend that passed away earlier this year had an industrial version of that (she did stained glass, hers looks bigger and is red)
The next time I'm over there (we're good friends with her husband and our daughters are friends) I'll have a look at it.
