Rick,
Opps They are cuffs so one size pretty much fits all. The overall length is 7" widths vary from 3/4" to just over 2" These are not as yet finished. Ends need to be dressed and riveted. Just an example of linear pattern, for your enjoyment. Thanks for asking, glad you like them. Brad

really like the pattern on these. They remind me of leather. One question, do you put some sort of finish on them?

They get a heavy clear coat, inside and out. Glad you like the pattern. Enjoy Brad

What size wire are you using for this type of work? I am curious and interested.

wire sizes

B.J. Severtson - Friday, February 29, 2008 - 6:36am

Rick,
Wire sizes start as 10 and 12 gauge. I roll them flat, which thins and widens them. Frequent annealings. When I braid then they are dead soft. Lots of possibilities here have fun. any other questions just ask, I'll type. enjoy Brad
