That's just spectacular, and you only use an opti-visor?

 

[oniemarc]

Wow...that's really nice and quite humbling. Sooooo much to learn.

[SamW]

Correct T.G. I use a #10 Optivisor. I turn 81 next month so am most fortunate to still have steady hands and great eyesight.

Mark, learning is what it is all about. Makes us keep coming back for more. Onward and upward!

 

[Leland Davis]

Very nice Sam thanks for posting it.

Those scrolls come visually alive with animal magnetism!

 

[ByrnBucks]

Absolutely Astonishing!!!!

 

[SamW]

By the way, those are all animals I experienced during my 12 1/2 years on Kodiak Island.

just very nice looking to my eye

Sam, if you don’t mind sharing, what method did you use the areas that look sort of greenish gold in the photographs?

 

[SamW]

That is 24k gold inlay that has been lightly stipple shaded to tone it down a bit. Just polished gold looks too bright to my eye.

 

[JMiller]

Looks great Sam… would have guessed you younger. My wife’s grandfather kept a garden and rebuilt tractors well into his late 80’s, it is a blessing to have good health.

Here is my latest I finished yesterday.

It`s freaking fantastic Sam, and I don't think you either are honest about your age or your eyesight

 

[EngraverHand]

Looks fantastic! Love the gold inside the scrolls.. it gives a really cool effect!

 

[FANCYGUN]

Great W H knife Sam. I really like how you incorporated the gold.

 

[papart1]

wow

As an old engraver once said , " don't know what you're charging but it isn't enough" Incredibly beautiful, amazingly balanced and just dazzling.
