Mike, that looks fantastic!
The binding wire is nice and uniform - I really crimp mine, but yours looks fantastic!
I think you achieved super great curls on the bail.

Thanks my friend, I appreciate it. Still more of the same, I need to try and learn something different in the design department- but I am happy with how it turned out. |

That sure looks great. You are doing a fantastic job on your wraps. I usually have a terrible time getting the wires to sit right when there is a pointy bottom but yours looks great.

Sometimes those pointy bottoms (  ) work and sometimes they don't. I started using a really small pair of pliers that I have to make those bends in the bottom, I think it could have been a little sharper but this particular stone seemed to sit in there well. Anyway, thank you again, ma'am!

I agree, sometimes they work and sometimes I want to throw the darn pointy monster across the room, never to be found again...lol. I use my flat nose pliers and bend the wire a little more than the angle of the point (I'd call it overbending) then wiggle (unbend) the bent wire until it sits tight against the stone. Don't know if that makes sense but that's what I do. |

Don't know if that makes sense but that's what I do. That makes perfect sense. That's kind of what I do also...

I like it. Nice cab, nice wrap. Not distracting, but a nice, understated flourish.
