I like how you used the "ears" in the upper corners to make those leaves, just so much to look at. It's all in the design folks, here's proof.
Makes me want to buy a Collings...
As a knife maker/engraver, I never thought I'd say this, but that dot background on this piece looks better to me than flat black. It's perfect for this piece.
weldons' work is quite inspirational. he was a frequent flier on the forum some time ago. i always looked forward to seeing his gun and bracelet work. thanks for showing the tail piece.
