Steve E.,
Yes I would like to try it at some point. It might take some extra thought sculpting convex instead of concave. I did find that penny of Carl Mcdougal's and I see what you mean trying to photograph coins. The feathers didn't fill out in the obverse but did on the reverse. Give you any ideas?
I heard that the next snow storm is supposed to be worse than the last one.
John B.,
I am so sorry to hear that Carl passed away. I should have let him know what an effect he did have on me. If you wouldn't mind giving me Coleen's email address in a PM I would like to send her one.
I have a lot more stuff to say about press and die work but I have muddied up this thread enough. I will start a new thread if you think that people would be interested. Have thoughts that gun, knife and jewelry engravers could use.
