Kent: I'd like to see more of this buckle, but the photo isn't evenly illuminated. Do you think you could shoot this again with the buckle reflecting a white surface overhead? That should allow all the cuts and detail to show nicely. Also, disable your flash if you're using one. You're very close, and your engraving can be enjoyed to the fullest with a little better lighting. / ~Sam
Sam,
sorry for this crummy pic. I only recently started to record my "work" with an image. Don't believe I have another shot and the buckle went to a friend of mine. Next shot I will try to take better quality photo.

Kent: I'm glad to hear you're starting to record your engravings. That's very important, and a little time spent getting your lighting right will reward you many times over. How long have you been engraving? / ~Sam
p.s. Stay tuned for a tutorial on the running wheat border.
Sam,
about 2 yrs. on and off, unfortunately I have a day job to keep the boat floatin' and cant cut as much as I want to. Gunstocking takes up large blocks of time also.
