Article on Diane Scalese

John P. Anderson · Mar 21, 2014

My wife, Pam Burke, works for the local paper and interviewed and wrote the following article about Diane Scalese. I tagged along, in awe. She's down to earth, talented and hard working. I was humbled by her skill. I'll post more photos later.

Diane is a class act and a great person not to mention a fabulous engraver. It's always a delight to catch up with her and Bob at the FEGA show

Cheers

Diane is not only a talented jewelry engraver guns are also another thing she can handle with ease I got to see a single shot rifle action she was working on at the GRS booth at the Blade show. :thumbsup:

Tell Pam that was a nice article. John, you and Pam have a lot of talent in your home. I would like to read an article that Pam wrote about you. That would be very interesting.

Great lady with great talent! It is a pleasure and honor to know her.

I'd rather she did one you. We've both worked on getting the paper to cover rodeo as a sport and it's worked pretty well. Besides that she already picks on me every few weeks in her Friday humor column.

Pam had a few more pictures than needed for the paper.

I'd thought I was brave posting pics of my work on this forum for everyone's scrutiny until my wife handed Diane one of my bracelets and she grabbed her Optivisor.

Her Bench. This was my first sighting of quality tools. I'd brought along a few of my homemade gravers and she was nice not to laugh.

I'd only thought of Diane as a bright cut engraver till I saw these. I was humbled by her work. Finesse was the word that stuck in my mind. This was also the first time I'd held in my hand and seen with my own eye first rate engraving. I need to get out more.....

Thanks Diane!

Diane is one of my big heroes, and I cannot say enough about her as a person, teacher, master engraver .... and rancher!

Always fun to meet up with she and Bob.

Do not forget in her range of work, those wonderful engraved watches... see below:

A very good article, please complement the author.
Another pic of that silver plated M-73. Diane has done some great work for me and currently has a custom Low Wall in process.

Thanks for all the kind words. The best part of the interview was meeting Pam and John. They live only 40 miles up the road, but I had never met them. Pam is an excellent interviewer, and John is an extraordinary engraver. Not sure if he has ever posted any pictures, but you would be amazed at his skills! I got to see two of his bracelets, all done strictly by pushing. Not only gorgeous, but very unique. I hope to see much more of his work.

Diane, isn't it amazing what John has accomplished with a graver?
I truly would love to read an article about him and what he has accomplished.
