hello everyone. I had made this little cabb for my sons baby shower door prize . I thought it came out well, what do you all think ? I'm thick skinned any advice would be appreciated,thanks for looking 
the coin it is resting on is a silver dollar,for size comparison . 
sorry as I am not sure of the type of turquoise it is, 
I was surprised when I touched the rough to my wheel as to how fast it ground down . had to be gentle with this one ,I finished it off with fine grit sand paper and a piece of scrap leather ,thanks for looking |

It's a great little wrap. I was going to suggest that maybe the wire is quite thick for the size of cab, but I suspect the cab is small and the wire is fine. It's a tidy job, great work.

I was gonna mention the wire gauge, too. Other than that, I'd say you did a good job.  Pat yourself on the back- small stones are harder to do. |

Really pretty, like the rose wrap front. Somebody will love to take that home.

Thank you all, i agree the wire is abit thick , i made it in a pinch for the door prize , only had a couple scrap pieces of wire, had to make it work, you can see alittle cavity in the brown matrix ,the lady that won it absolutely loved it,
Also melhill56, my wife likes the small size of it, i freeformed it from a small rough nugget, no dop stick that little sucker went flying a couple time good thing for the water treys on my old HP B-12, thanks all again for looking,
