Hi all, here's one of my latest projects for a client. 1 1/2" dia. sterling silver piece resembling a gorget. I used palm graver for half and my new PC airgraver for the rest. What do you think?
Hope you enjoy,
Mark

Mark, Had to look up the meaning of gorget. Very nice job from what i can see. You have an awful lot of reflection in your photo. Doug

Hi Mark,
I love the bottem part of the engraving of the piece! It looks very even to me. Indeed a bit of reflection on your photo but what I can see I like very much.
Well done!
Greetings,
Daniel

Sweet pendant.Did you engrave it while flat or curved?

Hi all,
Sorry about the shiny picture, silver is so hard to do when one doesn't want to spend the time to photograph it correctly, aka light tent. I was playing with shooting through the microscope..........talk about shine! I'll try to do better in the future.
I did the engraving flat. Domed it in a dapping block I carved out using a wooden hammer I'd turned for the purpose.
Thanks for looking.
Mark
