    Acanthus Ornamental Letter "B"

    Overall, a very nice design. With more attention to the details, cross lining and shading will make a very nice engraving.

    Thanks John, Yes you are right it does look untidy. That was my first attempt at cutting away & stippling background, & if I’m honest I don’t think I went deep enough either. I will endeavour to pay more attention to this. It’s these things that experienced engravers see & point out that help me...

    The Gangsters, Capone & Dillinger

    What a great pair of 1911's. Another masterwork from Mr. Mike !! Lots of research and attention to detail. This pair of 1911 Colts are sure to get even better with the addition of some wonderful scrimshawed grips, displaying the artistry of Katherine Plumer's fine work. I believe this pair of...

    Critique request Celtic High Cross

    Hello Ryan. Good try. It's easy to see that you have put in a lot of thought and effort into the Cross. But as always, the Devil is in the details. The border around the lower, long segment of the cross could have used a little more work and better layout. It is notably thinner than the other...

    Ready to try some metal?

    You are trying hard with your drawing. Thank you for sharing. In the second picture the "Heads" of the internal elements have some problems. This will show up in either drawing or cutting.. At some point you have to start some cutting practice. Try to "see" and correct these problems before...

    The first picture, I think they are floral engraved cuff links. Very nice engraving. But the background areas need some more work. The background is un-evenly textured, if you don't mind my pointing it out. It's easy for a beginner to overlook the importance of this detail. You are doing well...
