Thanks guys,
Gene, The background here is cut with a flat, and punched flat and stippled. Here is a link to the etching thing I did:

You are a real work-a-holic, get back from vacation/work and start up work again, get on line, post a few, make up this tutorial and post it - how many of you are there?
I did fly down to Solvang for the Knife show there in April, then on to Davao City in the phils for some biz and R&R for ten days, ( I had time to read 'Triumph and Tragedy' by Winston Churchill at the B&B while I was there), then up to Tokyo to Ginza for some shopping and market research for five days.
There is only one of me,and I find time to study whatever I can about our Art and the related ones, wherever and whenever I may. I am planning a trip to Java later this year to check out the forging and engraving of the Kiris, if I can find the right people.
