only engraving since Dec 2018, My wife died 20 months ago and this small co. in Israel that I deal with buying Custom Guitars have been just so great in helping me cope so I thought that I would try and create a little keep sake of our relationship, its very simple but I feel it is best this way. I've already spotted many mistakes and know why they happened. any criticism would be appreciated

In order to achieve a greater engraved depth and more 3D effect I start out making a lost wax casting and then doing the final gravure work with diamond and carbide rotary air tools. I generally work in nicr or cocr and then hand polish. The "gun" itself fires a commercially available blank although most of my work is collected for display....and yes these metals are VERY hard.
