I have been doing a bunch of groove wrapping so I thought I would try a couple full wraps before I get too rusty.

This is a very cool cab I made from a small slab of optical quartz that I got at an estate sale. Difficult wrap to get the back wires lined up with the front since you can see right through it.

Pudding stone

And one more groove wrap while I had the wire out

Thanks for looking
Chuck

wrapping invisible cabs is harder then it looks. Three tries before I was happy with it.

Very impressive. Rich

Way out of the box thinking. Like others have stated a fashionable wrapped loupe would be a hit.
