Wauw Steve, that is really beautiful!
Nice depth to it. Did you allso engrave the Mother of Pearl with the Lindsay?

[Peter]

I remember that one. I was really impressed with the transition from the pearl to the bolsters.

Beautiful as your engraving always is.

Thanks for showing it.

Thanks Steve
Fantastic work, an inspiration to continue to improve :whoo:

[Steve Lindsay]

Thanks!
Daniel, Yes, I used the same tool do the pearl as the metal. 116 degree V. You need to take it easy cutting the pearl and only take light cuts. Even some of the main outlines are too deep to try and take in one pass. If you try to cut them in one pass it sometimes splinters the edge of the cut.

Beautiful piece Steve! Thanks for giving us beginners a high bar to work towards. Seeing the close-up shot is really educational!

Steve ... this is simply breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful. I'm happy I checked in to see this!! A fine example of bank note shading on a perfectly executed design and layout.
