Very nice Sam both of them.
I understand leaf letters ain't scrolls, is that why the directions of the leafs may face to each other? Perhaps these leaf directions don't matter when drawing a leaf letter.

Thanks, Roger 
Arnaud: Yes, they can face each other.

GREAT cutting as always Sam.
A thought comes to mind regarding the "script B". I was wondering if there are any guidlines regarding proportions or is it an individual preference?
To me, the "B" would be more easily recognized, if the decorational leaves were smaller than those forming the "loops" of the letter. (if that makes any sense:big grin

Thanks, Peter. I think it's up to individual preference. To my eye the B is easily recognizable, but it might be because I've done so many of them.

Yeah, I noticed that too but was thinking Sam did some selective polishing....perhaps with a burnisher...?
Thanks, Ron. Yes, James...I burnished the scrollwork in the center.
Sam thanks for another fine example of great scrollwork and cutting. I am trying to cut some of your earlier examples on some GRS pendants that are brass and SS. I am trying to replicated one of your leaf boarders, not very well I might add but still trying. I am amazed at how fine your shading is and the control you have of the graver. Thanks for sharing your work. When I complete one of mine I will share it for review. Thanks again.
Great stuff. And done with all the interuptions at a show. Wow.
Especially love the border on the pendant.
Best.

Thanks Scott, John B, Bama.
I use Rust-Oleum flat black paint to darken my engravings.

It shows potential. Keep at it and maybe someday, before you get old and bald, you can earn a living doing this.

Beautiful lettering Sam. I'm with John B all this sitting at a table at a show. Of course it was at a jewelry show and jewelers are much more reserved than engravers and knife makers. Love the scroll also it has a little different twist to it.
