A customer sent me this engraved flute and asked if I could enhance the design a little.
I hit it with the Airtact and a highly polished 120 graver for about 3 hours.
(I don't think I need to point out the "before" and "after" pics.)

Very nice Brian. I am curious as to what metal the flute is, as it has a gold color in the pictures.

Thanks,
Peter

It's almost impossible to NOT be influenced by Winston Churchill and Ken and Marcus Hunt.

I've been parsing through the material since I left Grand Masters........Wow!
Years and years worth of information.

I can't thank Winston, Ken and Marcus enough.
(I'm sure they would rather have money---LOL)

Thanks to all for the Kudos!
It was hard to re-engrave something that was already "completed",and I usually refuse to do so, but the money was really green and there was a lot of it.
What's an engraver to do?
