    Yes and No. Yes because many can and do it a lot. No because wrap n rake is so olo old old school I think before A.D. So it is just to soon to say what will compare to wrap n rake as far as the time line, another nice way to do raking is running lines down a tube or rod then swing them all over to make super tight lines for rakes.. But I love stick stack is fun to do I like it with 1 inche and over tubing. It is great prep color tubing great for marble making, blowing ect.

    I been think of squaring some tubing then make some mixed color strips 1 or more inches wide, 4 to 6mm thick then sleaving 4 inside a tube. Tubing would have to be 50mm . Just a idea. I will if you will..HaHa. I have made some stick stack tubing where I put stringers between each color. Just because there is space that can be filled. So like 6mm 6mm between them on top 2mm and so on so on.looks nice.

    Its a fad that the glass collector want. they want that "solid look". It will change again when someone comes up with something knew that the public will pay big $ for. I beleive that the true future in all fine glassware, not just pipes, is in sculpture. Sculptural peices like some of Banjos new stuff with the female/godess forms or reptiles, reef scenes, insects, etc... That is the future... just my opinion of course that doesn't mean that a student should neglect to learn a tech becuase it will come back to bite yer butt. For instance I came on the scene just as Stick stacking was getting big and I don't know what a Dot box is....

    bright colors and vivid patterns is an asthetic highly desired in most art forms. stick stacking brings that asthetic to boro like no other tech yet. wrap and rake and stick stack dont share the same piece if the market.
