Default Snakes on a plate

Hi guys

Well, here's my latest engraving. The Springfield floor plate is all done in relief with small flats and punches with a beaded background and then finished off with abrasive rubbers and pastes. It's a lot of work but a lot of fun as well with all the usual challenges. The cougar is from a photo I took at the Safari Club International show earlier this year.

As usual your thoughts and comments are always welcome.

Cheers
Andrew

Dear friend:
This engraving seems charming to me; I congratulate him for so beautiful engraving. The puma seems to be alive.

A greeting and thanks to show.
