Jewelry box

[JMiller]

This was another Christmas gift for my mom, she likes them ( or at least she says so? ) it is pewter. I was a bit rushed (waited almost too long to get it done in time) , so I turned to Sam’s book for ideas and borrowed some designs modified a little… but all in all turned out okay.

Nicely done for that size. It took me a minute to see how your symmetrical designs flowed from the various starting points but, now that I see how it works, I like it.

Thanks Allen…

If your asking if I made it? bought it already made… no way I’m making a jewelry box.

Its very hard to get such a clean complex design on pewter. Pewter can be really tough to work on and requires a lot of control since the graver can sink if put in at the wrong angle. To get this kind of detail, and especially shading is amazing. To me this is just plain amazing. Congratulations.

Yes, it’s very soft easy to scratch… requires a sharp graver and a light touch but nice to cut once you get used to it.
