Those are doableSir,
What about nickel silver bolsters like on a Buck 501? They're slightly convex and the pins are pretty visible and I suspect they are overall pretty thin. Is this a viable platform for engraving?
My apologies if this is not the right place for this inquiry.

Turnaround was very quick; price on the work was honestly quite a bit less than I thought it would be, considering my estimation of how much practice, time, and skill that is involved here.
I asked him to do something that I don't think he had done before with this job, and he worked with me the whole time regardless.
Even though I gave him a lineart drawing of exactly what I wanted, there is still a lot of artistic interpretation that has to happen when applying it to the "canvas", and certainly decisions had to be made when it came to applying what I drew on my phone screen to cutting on actual metal. Chip knocked all of this right out of the park.
Thanks a whole bunch, dude! Can't wait to work with you again when I come up with another vision worth executing!
