oh, wow! so you've actually used some real gears & watch parts? i thought the entire images were 100% engraved in a trompe l'oeil style (i was stunned at the realism). either way, it's VERY COOL.
Yes I did something similar a few years ago. Same size as this one, used a copper sheet frame-boarder with no scrolls and on a SteamPunk theme.I think this is brilliant! Didn't you do a larger version on full metal scales Wm. Henry a couple of years ago?
