Mark. Welcome to the Cafe. Your work is amazing and I'm keen to see what you bring to engraving seeing what you have brought out of no where to the knife making world

Great to see another knifemaker/engraver.

Hi Dani Girl, Thanks, I really like your work too. This is all pretty exciting stuff, there's just not enough time in the day to do it all. Talk to you again sometime.

one area i think could be improved-- the negative areas inside the scroll, i'd use a suitably sized flat to level the areas. easy to do using (at least for me) chisel out as much as you can, then use a wriggling technique to even it out. then you could punch dot or stipple.

Yes, thanks. That's what I am planning to do, I have a lot more work to do on this. At this point I am just back to where I was before I decided to fix all the major errors. Next, finish the shading and then the back ground.
