I see more mistakes when I take pictures, my eyes aren't what they used to be... I fixed the top wires and fiddled a bit with the front dangly wires but here's a picture for now just to give the general idea.
Still finding round cabs a little difficult but I'm getting there. Thanks for looking.

I really like this one. Mike! I think you're getting pretty good with the "round" stones. Get yourself some Optivisors for when you wrap. Your eyes will thank you!

This looks like it's got a higher dome than "normal" - not in a bad way!  I've started LOVING doing Thunderegg cabs...I think there's just something really neat about them - and this one is no exception. I picked up a set of Optivisors off eBay - a $19.00 set with plastic lenses. I use is while cabbing constantly...and need to start using it when wire wrapping. It works and the price was right.  |

This was one I was going to do for this month's contest so it is different than usual for me. I'll have to take a look... |

I'm just starting to notice higher domes. I think I got into certain way of making my cabs, which produced a pretty low dome. I've been experimenting a little to see if I can get a slightly higher dome on some of them...so it just caught my attention. |

You would think that you would find a lightning stone 3 seconds before a thunder egg. Nice job on that cab, love the color.

This is pretty cool. I think the stone might show a bit better in a different light. This is a real interesting piece though.
