A chubby Teepee Canyon Agate. Kind of hard to contain! Thanks for looking.

I was trying to figure out how to address the chubby comment...this'll do just fine! LOL Mike - another beautiful "plump" teepee cab! I enjoy seeing you do wraps. Something of which I know nothing about the technical aspects, but can appreciate the time and effort put in to achieve these pieces of art...and that's what these are...each a work of art!  |

That is beautiful. Both the cab and the wrap.
Nice Owyhee slab as the background, too.

Only thing I would do is clean up the bail and adjust the surface wraps to be uniform. I love the cab.

As far as the surface wraps, they're fairly uniform. I think both the angle of the picture and the shape of the cab make it appear otherwise...

Chubby IS hard to wrap, but you did it. This is one of those cabs that I cut out of the big hunk of rock and I didn't want to lose the pattern so I left it thicker...I'm still not great at judging how thin I can go. Yet.

As far as slabbing goes, 6mm is abt right- if that's what you were talking about. |

Super cool! I like the use of the square gauge wire on the TeePee Agates that you do. I am starting to see some really complicated bails showing up on these last two also! Thanks for sharing!

I'm stuck on the square wire- something about the way it looks and the ease of working with it. Others on here do a great job with round but I'm not quite there yet...
