Been a few since I did a wrap, here's what I came up with for one of the dino bone cabs. Not super happy with the bail but I think it turned out ok. Thanks for looking!   |

You need to do something special with that one. It has a destiny for sure. That’s really cool.

True, nice dino bone sells well.  A nice wrap is a plus, too. |

That is a nice wrap. I'm thinking the bail looks too small for the size of the cab. Some people prefer a smaller bail though.

I think the next one I'm making is going to have just 2 wires and I'll see if I can make it a bit longer... Thanks! |

It might help to get bail making pliers or use a pencil or piece of dowel rod (what I use) to hold the shape of the bail while you're wrapping it. That helps me to keep the bail a little bigger and holds it's shape better until I have it secured. |

I think it's more of an end-user error. Maybe if I had a plan when I do a wrap it would help, but I usually just wing it. Some wraps turn out better than others. |

Sometimes having a plan doesn't even help...lol. |

I agree with knave...this one is special and deserves to be kept in the family! (Or sold for wicked HIGH dollars!) |
