Too cold to cab. My equipment is outside. Got a lot of good stuff at Quartzite that I'm just itching to get at. So I bit the bullet and cleaned my slab saw so I can at least cut the rough. I run outside, grab the slab that fell in the oil, set it up again and run back inside before I freeze to death. At least the motor stays cool. Anywho,. At least I can wrap.. so I did this on 
Thanks for lookin |

Nice cab and wrap. The combo of colors and wrap style look great.

I LOVE it! The beads add a nice touch and the wire is perfect for the cab.  You made me smile with your description of cutting. I have to cut back on rocks when it's cold, too. But, we are having freaky record breaking warmth right now. I'm happy as a clam. |

I love the beads. Do they help hold the stone or do they make it harder to get a secure setting?
