This is beautiful and rich!

I've been thinking about something I may have read about Mr. Coggan... that he perhaps uses a different graver geometry than is typically used... Like a narrower "V" on his square gravers... even narrower than 90º... Am I wrong? Maybe I'll search his previous posts or if he reads this he could comment!

Once again, beautiful work!

Simply gorgeous!! Do you blacken your bulino to get it that dark? Outstanding contrast!! Tnx!

Incredible work. The lab is very life like.

That retriever is tactile; the detail is what is 'so fine'.

The "V" I use is slightly steeper than 45deg and the face angle about 60deg, I can't be exact because I don't know, they will vary each time I sharpen.
