    I use the same engraving tools as knife and gun engravers use..This one took about 8 hours to carve...The design just developed as i carved, i had no ideal what the finished subject would look like until i was 75% finished with it..

    Just a few questions. Do you sell them? What about the reverses? Why did you start that anyway? Was that one a P, D or S?
    Nice job. You could make a buisness doing that you know.
