Present for Dad

[glstrcowboy]

This is a Lie-Nielsen #62 I engraved for Dad for Christmas. It (like all my work) has some glaring defects, but it's the best I've done so far. One side has the stylized initials he signs his work with, while the other is the crossed hatchet and caliper insignia he and his buddies use. I have to thank Sam for his design help, I couldn't have done it without him. I also have to thank Marrinan for his radiused shading line exercise. Mine are not as nice as I'd like them to be, but they would look even worse had I not been practicing that. Thanks also to everyone else who posts pics of their work; seeing good engraving makes me keep trying.

That looks really cool, I'm sure your dad will love it,

Richard.

Very nice plane. Will be treasured a long time. It was very kind of you to acknowledge any assistance I provided Fred

Great job! Shading looks good!

A little humor:

This reminds me is it a male plane?

Hard to tell from the photo angle Carlos, but I assure you it is a male plane lol. I had forgotten all about the Three Amigos, I need to dig that out. Maybe Airplane! as well.
