I like it very much Shawn, your scrolls and flowers are top notsch.
But about your quantity......how do you manage that ????

 

[Sam]

Nicely done. I'm as intrigued with the beautiful flower as much as anything. Very nicely cut with a good lively flow.

 

[didyoung]

the flower idea came from my new book that i got from lee griffiths.(thanks lee for taking the time to try and help others):clapping:
i also bought a couple new castings to add to my collection.

WILLEM

Lee Griffiths??? I take back whatever nice things I said about that flower.
Just kidding...you're obviously learning well and benefitting from Lee's great design ideas.

Which new book?

 

[Lee]

Way to go Shawn. Ignore Sam, what can a bald guy know anyway......wait, that would include me. Never mind.

Too much of Sam Alfano's balding wax!

i am doing what i can to keep the real engravers from going hungry....my collection

 

[Sam]

Ok, I see my DVD in there so all is forgiven

 

[Willem Parel]

Do you engrave the whole piece with a flat Shawn or do you use other gravers (except the liners)

 

[bronc]

I have to commend my friend Shawn. He has a full time job, and gets more work done in his spare time than many of us get done who do this full time. He has worked his tail off and it shows--his engraving just keeps improving. He can also catch a big fish if he needs to. Well done Shawn! I just wonder if you ever take time to sleep?

willem i used 2 different flats....2 different sizes of liners ....a 120.....and a bulino graver.
stewart thank you for the kind words. i am just trying to keep up with you guys.
i do sleep, but often dream about scrolls

[Barry Lee Hands]

Nice work, even without the American Engravers book. . . .
