Looks great. Are you using the same gravers as you use in silver?

Doug,

Very nice design and cleanly cut!

I cannot remember seeing this unusual style of liner cuts, that is, in the opposite direction to the curve of your leaves. Is this often used? Rope border is nicely cut, and very even. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words,
Douglas there all the same gravers #45 flat but with a 45 degree face and 15 degree heel for the bright cuts -the scrolls are cut with a #39 with a 37 degree face and 15 degree heel-shading done with a bent 18/10 and a 28/10 liner and graver lube.

Rod I guess I should have washed my hands when I took the pictures I think what your seeing are fingerprints I didnt notice them until after I posted the pics
