Topic: Wonderfully clean cutting Barry! Number of Responses: 10
Barry
Great work done with remarkable speed. I'm just a newbie at metal engraving but not new to the arts. And I really can appreciate a true artist.
I'm particularly taken by your main outlines around the leaf and scroll patterns. You cut them with what I consider a jewelers' "bright cut". Is this the proper name for this style? Do you use a standard square graver? By the way, what brands and types of gravers do you recommend? I'm still searching for the best gravers that can really hold a tip in the hands of a learner. Actualy, I'm really not sure how often one should need to sharpen a graver. Working in gun metal or knife handles (brass or milder steels) what tip life should I expect? Your imput would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
