I posted a few of the cabs I made for the competition with inside curves. Anyone have any great idea how to wrap these? Can you point me to a tutorial. I've only sat down with them for a short time but wasn't able to come up with anything.

I'm with Tela...I don't know of a tutorial...
When you say a "great idea" with regards to wrapping...are you just asking how to wrap the inside curve? If so...I've only done a couple. You obviously can't pull the wire "taught" like you can around a convex curve in the perimeter (obviously). I've had to fiddle with the curvature of the wire before placing it along the girdle in order to "match" the curve...

Went with one pretty much in the style of what I've been doing. It came out okay. Not completely thrilled with it.  Did this one next? I think I like it better.  |

I like them both...but I especially like that Mexican Lace!
I don't know if you know...but you can use something made from wood to push or "work" the wire into the inside curve. I use half of a clothes pin that I took apart. I like the size and I can use either of the flat areas on it...

I did a recent groove wrap with an inside curve & found that a rounded wooden pusher helped it along.
Honestly it took longer than I thought for it to conform, and I was using dead soft silver wire.
But in the end it stayed.
