Well here goes it has been a while since I posted any photos my old nikon 950 is having some old age problems even these photos could be better . This one is the front bolster of a gents folder I made about a month ago , my boy Dennis said that I have to engrave it if I want it to sell .. well we will see ..

I like the engraving, it is very nice and the knife has a very fine line.

Ron,

The background on the folder has the look of a jewelers floretine pattern. Did you relieve the background first and then use a liner to get that look?

If so, what size liner did you use? I have potential applications for such a background. It looks good.

Ron, I like the engraving on the knife and the gun. I really like the matted background you do. Did you put any kind of coloring on the knife engraving?
Thanks for showing it.

Thanks every body for your coments.. Joe and Ray .. The back ground relief is done with a square chisel I keep cutting lines in different directions until I get the debt that I want, it is around 10 thousands then I will use a black marker to darken the back ground ..

Great work! I really enjoy close up photo's of quality engraving. I have a whole file that I pull out from time to time & study. I have wanted very much for years to attend the GRS school, but have never been able to afford it or have the time to take off. So viewing others fine engraving always give me more insentive to continually improve my own skills
Thanks for the photos
Dusty
