This is the first time I've posted on the forum, but I love looking at everyone's engraving styles. I hope the picture attachment works, because I've never done it before. The photo is of a piece of steel that I engraved. It is the first time I've ever tried to engrave in steel. I anyone has any critiques or advise I would appreciate any and all.
