Default Re: Damascening a sheep with a Lindsay

Those are great shots Barry. I've always been drawn to your scroll style, so clean and classic looking and perfectly executed as always.

I especially like the shot with the chip curl at the end of the border. A few questions though. Is that done with the tungsten piston? What's the finger cot for? What is meant by Damascening?

I've heard this term in the watchmaking field referring to the treatment of the movement plates with designs embossed, pressed, or sometimes hand engraved upon them often to hide machine tools marks and to dress them up a bit. This is a very interesting overlay overview.
