    Franz Marktl

    Thanks for the update Deane. It is always sad to hear of another engraver passing. Never met Franz but have known of him for many years.

    I will replace the steel tusks with platinum then I can move on to engraving the rest of the gun. This took 238 hours. Customer visited today and is much pleased!

    Stipple shaddinf

    Johnson's floor wax does indeed last. I waxed a car many years ago with it. Hard work....but water still beaded up on it a year later. You reminded me...I think I have a book on patinas around here somewhere.

    The same. You can buy lamp black from such places as lmii.com, which is a guitar supply business.

    Another possibility is Renaissance Wax with a tiny amount of lamp black added to darken the stipple and your cuts. After the hand touchup.

    I normally touch up the marred stippling by redoing with a sharp scribe held like a pencil and hand stippling. Usually goes fast when just touching up an area, hitting the marred areas.

    Here is an update photo. Once I am satisfied with the sculpting on the elephant I will be able to do all the fine detail, on the elephant as well as background. I am 175 hours into it now. This one is for AllenClapp

    Finally

    It took several days before I caught this little tyke where I could get a photo. I sure enjoy each years new "crop" of little ones!

    Yes, all the animals are sculpted. The elephant the deepest with lots more to do on it before detailing. There will be background foliage and clouds around the elephant.
