You're right Roger except it's a Welsh dragon and not a griffin :big grin:

Sometimes when a piece like this is posted I think "Why the hell did I give up shoeing mules and draft horses-At least I was pretty good at that" Then I pick up my cane and remember-Phil, You are astounding-Fred

It really is quite an achievemnet. The level in which you engrave is beyond what I ever expect to even aspire to.
It brings to mind a question. You obviously set a high bar for yourself, and I've never heard anyone who performs at the top of their craft say they couldn't improve. Where do you see a weakness ( relative term of course) in your work? Maybe a better phrasing would be where do you want to improve?

Bullfeathers! That's just a photo he glued to the gun. No one can get that much depth and gray gradations scratchin' on metal!
Adjectives fail me!

I don't know, i'm too busy working to think about it, but what I do know is, never be completely satisfied with your work, always strive to do better next time and like you say, set your bar high!

in Wales for a period of years and after each one someone
ends up with a museum quality gun added to their collection.)

Phill, I don't know if I have to thank you for putting the bar even higher now.
But sure your work is great, the portrait sure has at least a 5MB pixel pattern.

A megapixel (MP or Mpx) is 1 million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera with an array of 2048×1536 sensor elements is commonly said to have "3.1 megapixels" (2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728).
