Dang, wish I could draw that well!

On my screen the pictures aren't zoomed in microscope tight - they're about the size I think they look in real life. They look really good at that 'zoom level'.

Get in real tight and there are probably things to critique but my first instructor always insisted that engraving should only be looked at under magnification if you're doing it or appraising it.

Hi Dave,

Your engraving looks really great at this distance but I'me sure it looks fine close up too. The second picture really looks awesome and I would love to see that one close up. Anyway, :whoo: engraving.

Greetings,

Daniel
