I have begun the process of background removal. I have trimmed away all the borders and now I need to finish shoveling out the rest of what remains. After that, stippling begins.
Follow along as I hand engrave and set diamonds into Böker Scout Solingen

Really digging that lion nestled into your scrollwork. Very nice. Just checked back in, and can see you are well on your way.

I hope it gets better reception than the skull on my buck. Some people liked it, a lot of people said "this is great except for that". When I made the design, I had no idea how I would shade it. I'm just making it up as I go.

I absolutely love the style of the lion’s head. Well done!

Hey y'all what's going on?! I'm still working on this. Here's some development.
I'm working with a custom knife maker named Matt Collum right now to engrave a folder for Blade Show in Atlanta this coming June so I have to put this down for a bit.

Definitely need a work-in-progress thread for that one!

Haha, I suppose I could. Here is my husband sitting at my bench last night, ogling the craftsmanship. This knife has steel bolsters and vintage 50's red micarta scales. Matt would like to not see any of the process, he wants to open the box and be surprised. I'm not sure if he is a forum member!

Alright, I got a thing going for this new guy. I'll let it run along side this one for now since I think I'm gonna bang it out pretty fast. This is an album, do click for more pictures. Enjoy!
