http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb332/cwbyengraver/ I did this springfield 1911-a1 45 last year. All the lettering is gold enlayed with 24k 24 gauge gold wire. I polished the gun by hand with sandpaper down to 1500 grit then engraved it then masked off the engraving then sandblasted the gun with aluminum oxide to make the engraving pop
no question about it you are definitely talented
Wow
How do you charge for that type of work?
Very impressive. Great looking work. :toast
Pricing all depends on the level of work. background removal amount of shading inlays gold or silver. If I can find some pics of some knives I will post them. I can do a 1 inch set of bolsters on a knife anywhere between 80 and 150 animal portraits and scenes are alot more plus there a pain in the ass.
