Hi this is the first and only thing to date, that I have wire wrapped. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Mike

I'm not a wrap person if I can't solder it I usually don't care for it. However, I think you nailed it on the first shot. It has style and looks sale-able (most important).

Waiting for your next piece.

Thanks, I did this for a family member. I need to do one more if I like it, I will keep it up. I'm a cabber when it comes to this stuff. But I found wire wrapping fun and interesting so who knows. I can see why people like to do it.

After you get comfortable with wire wrapping cabs then it's time to grow up and buy a torch and a bunch of silver and really show off your cabs.

I know how to weld, but there is a good silver smithing class I want to take at the local collage.

i wire wrap and you did a good job first time round.  the key is to be exact in working one direction and then the other direction.  what i mean by that is what ever you do to one side you must duplicate the other side but in the opposite direction.    for example, if your starting your project from the middle and going to the right finishing one half then when you do the other half your starting from the middle (again) to the left and doing the same moves BUT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.  i'm not sure if i'm explaining it correctly. 
just experiment and have fun

No you are making prefect since, you are saying to keep it symmetrical.
