Barry:

I's my impression that you have created a new and distinctive style of leave and scroll design in this and other work you've been showing recently.

If ever an engraver placed himself in a class of his own, this creation places you at the leading edge of a fresh and sophisticated style of engraving.

Great Sculpting!

[Jroettger]

I have to agree with Mike about having created your own very unique style of design. I love the simple feel yet sophisticated quality. Beautiful and perfect in it's compliment to the knife.

[WVEngraver]

Awesome work Barry.

I hope you've unbuckled those shoes and are kicking back with a glass of fine single malt and a fine cigar. I know I would be!!

[Barry Lee Hands]

Thank you my friends.

Roland, its done with round bottom chisels and a 90 degree sngle point.

Well, dang Mike, thats about the nicest thing anybody ever said about my work, and I Thank you for that.

This new style I am doing is based on three simple leaf components, everything is made from them, its all about simplicity and self similarity.

[Curtis Wilson]

Bary the knife is simply beautiful. My question is about the background how was it done and was it done prior to the inlays, or after? Thank you for sharing.
Curtis Wilson

[Barry Lee Hands]

Thanks Curtis, the background was done by blasting with aluminum oxide, after the gold was installed.
