Hello Gunsmith.
Next time you cut some of this design you might enjoy getting a little more variation and "sweep" into some of the cuts.
Do this by using a tapered diamond shaped graver and leaning it over as you make the cut.

Try it out on just a couple of practice elements first, to see if you like the tapered dimensional effect.

Hey John, I’m relatively new to the forum. Could you explain the diamond tapered graver. Also, where can I purchase one and how do you sharpen? Do you sharpen by hand or is there a template? Many Thanks, Jerry
