I'm fairly new to engraving and I need some guidance regarding the removal of background around my scrolls, etc. I currently use a dental burr that quickly cuts away material and, if I'm very careful, results in a not-unpleasant texture effect. But I've noticed from some of you all a very smooth background and I can't figure out how that's done.
Can anyone steer me to a tutorial or other resource so i can try this technique?
