I've just finished and quickly took some photos of the finished pieces. I've sent a silver mounted coconut goblet styled vessel with a tapered/flared pedestal base hammered into a slight concave shape. Three chased and repousee' pineapples holding the coconut. All the silver is riveted in place and hand polished. This is reminiscent of rare coconut articles of the 18th c. The pinwheel chip carving was accomplished using the same motions as push gravers are used.
The other item is a small silver rum cup built from sheet stock.
I've submitted both to the Engravers and Silversmith Show in Sheridan, Wy. so if you're in the area please that a look.
