If you click on the"IMG" icon on the right you can post the photo here on the Forum.  When you click on it it automatically 'copies' then all you have to do is hit 'paste' within your comment and when it is 'post'ed the photo will show up here.

No idea what the stone is. I bought it for a dollar.

Nice job on your first!   :icon_sunny:

May I offer a suggestion?  Try using the 1/2 round wire for your binding wraps.  You'll be able to place them closer together (they tend to stay where you put them compared to round wire which will roll) and your wrap will have a tighter and neater look to it.  Keep at it!  It takes practice and patience to perfect your technique.   :thumbsup:
