While of course learning to do things perfectly is the way to go, 99% of the time a job will have a slight "thing" wether a cut or whatever thats not 100%.
Thats handwork for you....
Not to panic and be put off too much, so long as you understand what and how it could/should be as 99.9% of non-pro customers or viewers will not notice.
At the end of the day, the handwork can get away with a slight "cockup" so long as it`s not sticking out like a sore thumb.
Beginners get put off by worrying over slight errors they might make..
Good to point them out, but at the same time, if they are not messing the overall design to the laymans eye then its a fine job and just something to be aware of next time to try to improve....
The reason i brought this up is that i noticed that even on some "top name " gun engraving, ther are scrolls that are not 100% but so what. Overall thase small things go mainly unnoticed.....

One is very slightly flat, the one above not quite a neat sweep, but both close, thats what matters.
Just to give abit more encouragement to those wannabes and triers like me ; )
