    Raised gold inlay

    Thank you all. I have not seen the overlay talked about before that will help a lot. I have been practicing on a plate with fine silver trimming it back after inlay was my biggest worry. Thanks again.

    Raised gold inlay

    I have the squirrels ready for raised gold inlay, I think. Is there anything you see I need to address before I screw something up? Thanks, Leland

    Motifs & animals- shouldn’t they face forward?

    When building early long rifles everything has to flow from the butt to the muzzle. Engraving is the same but I am working on a scene with 2 squirrels in a confrontation. Some body is going to be the wrong way.

    I went online typed in Printers using HP 61 ink there are 6 that came up from 90 to 450 dollars. I know that cartridge works for transfers there are probably others.

    Rare White Deer

    20 some years ago I had a whitetail doe raise 2 fawns behind my shop. She was completely white but had black eyes and nose. She was a piebald. The fawns were normal colored.

    Draw File

    When I need to anneal a case hardened action I pack it in the same bone and wood charcoal that I will use to case color it. heat to 1350 let it soak for an hour then shut off oven and come back in about 15 hours.
