Latest engraved plane

[Southern Custom]

Thought I'd post a pic of the latest plane out of the shop. It's a Wayne Anderson low angle. It's as pretty as a piece of jewelry and it was an honor to engrave it.

VERY nice. That is a fine looking plane and the engraving looks excellent.

looks very good to me. how long did this take ? did you draw direct, or make transfers ?

Thanks for the kind words guys. I've been lurking around here for too many years and thought it was high time I participated. It's a lonely world for engravers in the south.
I transferred most of the main lines using my old standby of carbon paper under a copy of my master sketch. I worked off and on for 3 days or so on this one. It has it's issues here and there with flow and balance but I suppose half the battle is learning to recognize where I need improvement.
I've worked hard to gain the trust and interest of high end plane collectors. I have 2 fine examples in the shop now from 2 more makers and I'll post them as I complete them.
