hello all well my families hobby took a dramatic turn this summer when we happened to find a vintage rock collection along with equipment , now we have an amazing assortment of material and the machines to do something with it , long story short now we are slabbing cabbing an wrapping, here is a couple of our first wraps.  i think this is rose agate or rose jasper ? not sure exactly any help? this is wrapped in sterling silver.  one ready for the wire.    not to bad i was happy they came out nice and tight an solid filling i had some others made and they where gone before i could get pictures. |

Wow, I think you win the award for best "first wire wrapped" post! My wire from Rio will be here on Friday and I'll be diving in soon also. Love that first picture!

Thanks again everyone! It has been a fun experience to cabb and wrap it means a lot to hear a good word from you all, we would not be anywhere near where we are now with this if it wasn't for the RTHers, especially the push i needed to buy our saws! A special thanks to everyone!and we look forward to sharing more.

With talent like that, wraps have a habit of getting gone real fast.

Did a few more wraps, the same basic style going to be working on some new wraps and plan on making something different from these ones I have been doing, 
I liked the druzy pocket in this one nice color , cute little heart? 
don't know what I was thinking on this one maybe over thought it? 
this ia a nice texas plume agate with a druzy pocket the crystals are light purple you cannot tell in this photo but in person can see it, 
nice pocket on this? 
a group photo! 
last one,
