    Inkjet Printer for acetone transfers?

    I don't see why not but to be sure what I suggest is to go to one of the big box stores that have demos and get a printed sheet to test.

And there are some excellent Custom Gunmaker's who attend the Firearms Engravers of America portion of the show that can be contacted about a rifle for engraving...

    Question: What is Blackleaf?

    Diane, it's a type of engraving, generally within the scroll style. You might find C.Roger Bleile, the Firearms Engravers Guild of America historian's glossary of engraving terms helpful to you. I'm sure you will find a full description of blackleaf and most other styles of engraving..

    Nice lion and well done. Looks to be a practical cut depth for wear on a lighter.

    Question: is this created using a liner?

    Very hard to tell from the pictures you posted.......at least on my screen. But it looks more like a finish created using a rotary brush. Maybe someone with more jewelry experience than me will chime in.

    Beginning Tools and set up

    For hundreds of years engravers have sharpened their tools by hand. As a wood carver you say you are good at sharpening and the same goes with push gravers. Just a little practice and if it cuts you're good to go. And you already have a good selection of stones. Give it a try
