Cheers Thanks Bsky. I hate drilling any cabochons so yes doing that beautiful Montana was very daunting to say the least. The calico cabs were tumbled and I posted that video to show off the results a little better. With those being tumbled preforms and groove wrapped they are reversible pendants. Chuck

Chuck, I'm glad you haven't tired of doing groove wraps because I sure haven't tired of looking at them. Those are all really cool. I like how you twisted the wire on the one in the video.

After looking over your wraps , I had to go out and order a cutter . Now I just tried it out works nice . It's going to be awhile to get the hang of it.

Truly outstanding work, Chuck!!! I am being very honest when I say that I can't pick a favorite. The cabs are top notch and your wraps are impeccable. Very nice!
