Not sure I'm in love with how this one turned out- ovals are for some reason hard for me to wrap sometimes. Input, please...  |

The only thing that bothers me is the bail adornment being off to the right side a bit. Makes the wrap look crooked kind of. It also could be that the fortification tilts to the right at the bottom of the cab.
If you maybe widen the bail up between the 3 wires (just a tad, make the space even) and then try to fiddle the adornment wires more to the center, it might fix what's bothering you.
The rest of the wrap looks great and the stone is killer!

I agree with Robin. The bottom right bindings kinda throw it off, too. They are a little high to me.
Ovals can be tough to do. One thing you can do is make a little tick on the stone with sharpie where dead top is and shoot for that with the bail. Also, when you look at the back, you can usually get a clearer picture with out anything on the front distracting the eye.

Thanks Robin- I'm going to play with it a bit and see if that helps. You're right, the fortification tilts and I think that does play into it. I know, I really like this cab. If I don't like the wrap after the improvements I'm tearing it apart and redoing it. I'll see what I come up with, thanks for the suggestions! |

Maybe that's it, too. It helps to have fresh eyes to look and advise- I knew something was a little off but couldn't quite put my finger on it. I am actually pretty close to the center on the top of this one- the cab and the patterns on the stone are just a bit wonky. I'll try to adjust it and see what happens. Thank you, ma'am.  |

It does look real close to me, too. For me it's the one binding that really throws it off. |

Thanks Tela! I lost a little of the roundness on the adornment wires so I may play with it but I think it's better for sure. |

I prefer the new improved wrap on this too. Looks less wonky.
