Howdy;

As usual and critiques are more than welcome.

Hi Samson,
I sure don't know anything about western, but with as nice as the rest of your cutting seems, your flower centers kinda jump out at me as being kind of a let down. JMHO, but the rest looks really goog.

Not to pile on, but I agree that the centers of your flowers seem to have been cut too quickly, and without the proper amount of care to get the lines straight and parallel. The rest of your engraving deserves better flower centers, it is really nice.

Thanks for the help, I agree about the flower centers, this is something that a really struggle with. I have not yet engraved a flower center that I am happy with. Steve

Try using beading tools of various sizes. They are available at the Ngravr Co. The best that is.
