Default PalmControl carving on finished sideplate

Here's the second plate, (Kudu) most of the chisel work was done with the PalmControl.

Thanks Phil for posting - we are used to a really great range of engravings and inlays, from beginners to experts, but yours is something different, with the 3d effect. So we all like to "take a look".

Thank You for Posting

ps Think your son might want to post sometime?

Say Phil

Is this the sideplate you were expecting to have done in November? If so then adding power has really sped up your process!

Wow.

That's a lot of different sizes of gold wire. Looks like you're ready for any size inlay without having to stop and fiddle about.

I assume the cards are all labeled as to the size that's wound around them?

It's surprising how much gold is used, if you were doing a gold border line around side plates, action, top strap, top lever, forend tip, forend, trigger guard, etc. etc...work it out, probably four or more feet!
All the cards are numbered .2, .25, .3, etc. it's a lot easier that way when you're inlaying leaves etc.

Good Job, nice!
How do you make the surface finish, do you use sand?

Phil...Phil...Phil,

Flawless design, Flawless execution. Thank You. You embody the archetype "Master Engraver" qualities we all strive for. Thank you again for inspiring us all.
Did you actually use the airgraver to execute any of the modeling? Or was it utilized only in the deep hacking away of the outline of the design? And please, one more thing : Are you glass bead blasting the finished product?

~Respectfully,

Rick Simmons

Thanks all.
The Palmcontrol was used for cutting out the design, removing the background and then carving the scrolls, scrapers and burnishers to finish. A punch was used for background matting and an abrasive rubber over the everything just to dull it down, this does'nt remove any metal.
