I like it,

cannot wait to build the confidence to start cutting designs in gunmetal.

Looking good, Daniel

Thanks TG and John.

John, you may have noticed the design changes. I must admit the design is not my favorite but after countless hours of design which I shared here, I transferred it to metal and I found that my design was not cut able. It was simply too small on metal. In the space that I now have 6 scrolls I used to have 22. The design looked great on Procreate but what I can do with a computer screen under zoom is far more than on metal. Lesson learned.

Well said Daniel.

Thanks. I always find it interesting to see bulino work with some context. Here is a picture with a head hair in the shot, and then just a close up pic. (What appears to be a scratch from the nostril is just a piece of lint).

Previously I progressed by nearly completing the eyes, then nearly completing the nose, then the ear and so on. This time I am moving around more, stopping at 60-80% and then moving on to another feature. I hope this provides a more well rounded finished image. i Am curious about the approach others of you take.

Thanks Cropduster and Papart1. Posting my pictures shortly before Brian posted his is like a High School cover band opening for the Eagles. But it is work like his that keeps all of amazed and eager to do better.

Dan,after seeing your 94 Winchester I believe all you need is the right client that wants something like Brian's amazing work.

Looking great Dan. Your comments about size reminds me of when I bought a 'scope years ago. Cranked it up to 30 power and proceeded to cut my name. Looked like I was cutting Grand Canyon. Then I backed off and looked with the naked eye and found it too small to read.

Thanks everyone for the kind and encouraging words.
