Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Andrew: It took me forever! to get a decent photo. I was almost to the point of contacting Sam and asking him for some help.
Sam: That was all removed with flat gravers. I’ll invest in a rotary tool next time I attempt such a task.
I’m trying to get another one done. I’d like to take them to the Denver show and hopefully meet some engravers in person.
Russ great job! I just finished one up not to long ago.It cut great. It was kind of a quick job i will try to get some picks up sometime. . just purchased a micro motor last year it ceartinly helps to get the bulk of background removed. Thanks for the pic DOUG
Andrew: That's a very good point - I do need to look on the bright side of things more often!
D. Douglas: I agree. I enjoy working on them - besides, I'd rather mess one of them up versus one of my dad's custom jobs. Looking forward to seeing your work.
