Hello gentlemen, This is a design by Sam Alfano so I realize its significantly easier standing on the shoulders of masters. Never the less this plate was a delight to engrave, It was the first time I confidently cut every line, didn’t hesitate or stress before beginning each cut. I ”to an extent” understood why and where the shade lines belong “even if they’re not quite there haha”. Even if this was a fluke and I can’t replicate the immense pride and joy flowing from every cut... It’s all been worth it. Thanks to everyone who shares they’re knowledge and encouragement to those who have chosen to climb this mountain, the scenic overlooks are challenging to reach but nothing compares to the view and only solidifies ones resolve to ascend even higher. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day.

sam has generously posted several designs for folks to use for practice. not too bad. do it again and you'll likely see a bit of improvement.
