My first silver trophy buckle

[DanAtkisson]

I built this "trophy" style buckle for a benefit auction with the organizations logo. Learned a lot but still not quite satisfied. As always, I'd appreciate suggestions and critique.

Better'n MY first one!

I keep mine way in the back of the safe. I made it for a brother in law.

Luckily he let me have it back - in trade for a new one, ten years later.

I take it out every once in a while to remember... who I once was and what I once thought was pretty fair work.

Keeps ya humble...

Wow! Another "Stockton" out there!

Looks pretty good to me. Brass or gold?

Beautiful work.

wrong name, i'll take it anyway. my eye tells me you forgot to texture the flower center, not really a crime, but i think it should be textured.

 

[DanAtkisson]

It's nickel and brass. I don't have any dot punches so the flower centers are just cross hatched. Thanks for the kind words.

Nice job Dan. The headline read silver but your last post said it was made of nickel. The engraving design turned out great.
