    61 Winchester with raised gold inlay.

    Observation, not criticism. I’ve always thought of the buttplate as a working surface, brought up to the shoulder 1000’s of times, set down on the ground albeit lightly, leaned up against a tree. I would think the inlay & engraving would be worn fairly quickly. Customer should be happy.nice...

    Question: How to use the scraper correctly?

    I’ve never done bulino / intaligo but I’ve cut lots of copper. If your tool if sharp you shouldn’t have burrs imo. Another engraver told me you should be able to pass a nylon stocking over the work without snagging. I think Monk is correct about the “popping out the chip” so there is no need to...

    Denatured alcohol to remove shellac destroys the polish

    Yes, I use denatured alcohol all the time I’ve never re-rinsed pieces just just rub briskly with cotton cloth & a bit of silver polish If needed . For tight areas use a swab. No…..it won’t mar the work surface. No sandpaper, silver polish if needed.
