Struggled a bit with this one, I couldn't get the wires to bend where I wanted them to...but that's the good part about wrapping- I can always redo it if the mood strikes.
Thanks for looking!

Really cool capture of the pattern on this one Mike!  I can't decide if it looks like a wolf head, or a dragon head right there in the middle...either way I really like it! |

This is one that looks like it would benefit from the smaller gauge wire, miket. The stone is beautiful, but the wire is covering up all that gorgeous pattern in the bottom of the stone. |

This is one that looks like it would benefit from the smaller gauge wire, miket . The stone is beautiful, but the wire is covering up all that gorgeous pattern in the bottom of the stone. I thought the same thing before I wrapped it but decided to go with the bigger wire. I'm thinking I may redo it today, if I get a chance I'll repost it. Thanks Robin.

Beautiful stone, Mike. I have to say, I don't mind the heavier gauge wire so much as I think you may have pulled the wires in too much. But, that's a mute point if you are redoing it. Can't wait see IPR V2. |

Yeah I was happy with the polish that I got on the cab, I really do like working palm root! The bottom wires were pushed and pulled several times- which is totally obvious (at least to me) by looking at the wrap. That's part of the reason I'm redoing it. And who knows, I may end up not liking the thinner wire. Then it will be IPR V3!

Welp, here's the do-over. A little bit loose, but I do like the smaller wire better with this cab... Thanks for looking! Again.

It almost looks like a different cab now with the new wrap! The dragon appreciates his new digs!

There ya go! That is so much better. Thanks! Like I said, a little loose. And there's a end of the bottom right binding wire showing that's bugging me but you can't really see it except for in the picture so I'll live with it... |

Beautiful job on the rewrap. I too prefer the smaller wires on this cab.
