Here's # 4 for me, I'm trying to study yalls work as much as possible and doing my best to get better at shading. It's hard for me with these arthritic gorilla mitts of mine. I'm way to young for this :D Thanks for all of the things you guys share here, it's a blessing! Dwayne

P.S. Johnny Stout took the photo. He's doing a great job, If anyone needs a picture give him a call.

Thanks guys, Ron I'm with you, I think the shading brings them to life too, I've been reading and studying your book, Thanks by the way, for the info and the words of wisdom in engraving and in other areas as well! I love looking at your work, Sams, Andy's & Lindsey's, Nott's, Cover's, Mason's and so on. There's a great deal to study, I love yalls work and want to master that 3-D look for lack of a better term myself. Some of it just has so much depth, it almost looks like it came straight from the streets of Glory if you know what I mean. Thanks again, Dwayne

Looks great Dwayne. Thanks for the kind words. Just keep cutting. Johnny's photos are looking good also. I have one of his knives that I will be working on soon. Keep up the great work.
