Nice flow and cutting Shawn. Is it engraved on both sides and how many hours do you have invested in just engraving one side, not counting the artwork/layout?

engraved on one side.
at the most I have 6 hours maybe 8 in everything.....I had to go back over the background a couple of times. I bought the knife sometime back and got tired of looking at it, so just started cutting on it.
I have quit using any transfers...I drawn the pattern on the project as I go....its a little faster.
I am sure if I had a big project I might think about drawing on paper first.

And I thought I cut fast. That is a blistering pace Shawn! Well done.

Drawing the pattern as you go and then ending up with this.....I would be very lucky, love it!

Lots of drawing on paper will improve ur chances at drawing on a project

Shawn again beautiful engraving work. I also agree that being able to draw your pattern on the item and cut works the best. I constantly have a drawing book with me and hopefully someday all the drawing I do will finally come together in my head. Thanks again for showing your work.
