I have a You Tube Video of me engraving a Rifle Side Plate in Fast Motion.
Below are the steps taken in engraving a Henry Rifle
- First I cut a border design.
- Then laying out circles I design the basic scroll..
- I then cut the “backbone” of the scroll.
- Next I add the leaves filling the scroll.
- Then I add the shading and detail.
- I finally add the background, making the engraving stand out.
