Excellent piece of BOTH silversmithing and hand engraving!

How long in the design and planning? How long in the actual work?

Planning I didn't keep the best track of time, but from finalizing my drawing to completion I have about 75 hours.

 

[Brian Marshall]

That's pretty damn quick, given what I know you had to do on that job!

Awesome !!!
What gauge is the body and overlay ?

 

[monk]

fill that thing with scotch, mail it to me. i'll even pay the shipping. every now & then someone comes along and raises the bar. you have done just that !

 

[Jesse.beckham]

Great work! Looks like you've got something on the cap too... Picture?

 

[Beau Compton]

Tex, I used 22 on the overlay and 18 on the body, but I would go with 16 gauge next time.

16 is my choice on conchos and most overlays. Your work looks great now, but going to 16 will double the visual impact. Keep up the great work.

Great work. The deep relief on the first picture is super deep and the edges of the elements are soft adding to the look of the piece. Very nice effect.
