I am not sure how this works but the more wraps I do the slower I get  . I have actually found that I do my best work when I only have one cab to wrap at a sitting. I think it helps me to not rush and to give each wrap my full attention. This cab was cut to be groove wrapped so it has a tall girdle. I decided it would look better in a full wrap but that tall girdle required a six wire wrap and I had never done that many before. Getting the bail to look clean was a bit challenging with 12 wires coming out of the top.   Thanks for looking! Chuck |

that's one great looking wrap. Super clean and tight .
The reason I keep at this is to try to catch up with some of the Great wrappers on this board.
My desk is full of wire and stones keeps me thinking all day.

If it were not for seeing all the great wraps being posted on here I would still be gluing bails on the backs of my cabs  Chuck |

A great big WOWWWZERS for the stone and the wrap. You are an artist! Did I get the hint that glueing on bails is "kinda bush"? That is my only "skill level", as I am an old geezer with few tools, and even fewer skills!

That is my only "skill level", as I am an old geezer with few tools, and even fewer skills! Thanks! I still glue bails on tumbled stones and on less then premium cabs. At the rock shows those usually sell just as good if not better then wraps and there is way more profit in them. You should give groove wrapping a try. Its far less complicated and requires less tools then full wraps. Chuck |

Stunning wrap! I love how clean everything you do looks. Also good to know that glue on bails sell decent at shows. I may have my first show this Summer, and I am preparing now.

I have found that the trick to shows is to have something for all pay ranges so all customers can afford something at the table. Second biggest tip is to have a clean well organized booth. Good luck with yours. I have my first show of 2015 on March 28th Chuck |
