Critique Request Sterling pic.

[golden forge]

Hi all, I'm still scratching on guitar picks, this one was requested buy a friend to give to their brother, and they wanted his initials on the reverse side. This is the third or fourth attempt to engrave letters by hand, and it turned out better than the last attempt, so I guess it's practice practice practice.
The pic is .925 silver, cut with a 120 graver, and a 40/15 flat graver.

the reverse shows a very good level of control. the initials will follow suit after you've done a few. nice looking pick.

Thanks Monk,
I'm trying to spend quite a few hours a week with a graver in hand, or looking at scrolls, studying other people's engravings, and trying to remember that I once knew how to draw, and overall having a blast with it.

Hello Golden Forge,
I very much like the ornamental engraving on the front. I wish You had the same concept with the initials, using most of the surface instead of limiting yourself to that little space. If an interlocked monogram is not yor call yet, you might enjoy drawing and cutting upright script letters on these guitar picks, with the family name's initial larger in the middle. I wish You good luck, and more fun with your engraving.
