It will be case hardened tomorrow.

baby is still inside, Mom is still on bedrest, but doing OK. We have made it to 34 weeks!

Got new Jange in today! Sweet!

That's all for now.

Sweet! Love how you put "tips" on the petals - nice stylistic touch.

Mom-n-baby are in our prayers. Ok, you too.....:D
 
Extremely even and well centered work. I think what people call, 'clean'. !!!

Looks outstanding! Not over done like I am so use to seeing...perfect, thanks for sharing! :eek:
 
Thanks for all the kind words!

Empty canvass? yeah, but I am really looking for some correct design ideas before I do one.

I've been re working a sirupati seems like forever now to engrave for a friend.

Some year, I will let you see what it looks like. Don't even know what to put on yet, other than his name in a devangari like font.

I learned to engrave at a community college, and then by trial and error after that. been at it nearly 11 years now, but really intense the last 6.

Munk, some people think engraving is just another form of scratching! :D

Beautiful work, Tom! :eek: I'd very much enjoy seeing any khukuri you've "scratched". :D How about posting a pic or two?

I hope you're well settled in upstate N.Y., and best wishes for you, your wife, and baby during the 'countdown'... :)
 
Tom, that one's staying on my desktop for a while. Beautiful.

Best wishes for a healthy mom and baby.
 
Very nice work indeed! Do you do classic wheatstraw borders? Do you take on private work, or only accept work thru certain gunshops? Suggest we exchange e-mail addresses.....

very beautiful engraving - good work. - And greetings to the Mom and the baby. Just love to "communicate" with mine (it´s fun to "catch" the heels and see how the baby reacts on sounds/voices even before birth) - we await arrival every hour - 39 weeks tomorrow - the future Mom on this side of the ocean is still very active and walks about 2 km every day ... It is her way to tell the child to "leave" because he/she (we dicides to have a "surprise") is already "very well developed" as the doc says - giving birth to him/her will be more difficult if the weigh is over 4 kilogramm...

Hey we´re going to have two cantina babies in short time I guess...
