This is a piece I have just hand engraved for an American customer, I have done a similar piece before on a smaller piece which the customer saw on my website. The crystal is -optical crystal of the finest quality and the engraving is very deeply engraved into the back with a little work on the front to give it a 3 dimensional effect

The detail in your work never ceases to amaze me David. Simply magnificent.
Yes very cool
Did you go to a engraving school or is this just something you are naturally good at?
Wow :thumbsup:
David you gotta stop posting these magnificent pieces, I want one but I'm not selling my house! Great work, really appreciated
Stunning...thank you for sharing!

Curious as to the village David.
Great work by the way.
Fantastic as usual David, even I'm starting to get 'blasé' about your work...always so beautiful
The village was Tutbury in Staffordshire, EnglandQuote:

That is fairly good Australian English for what you were trying to say DSA. We all understood and I am sure that David will get the gist.Quote:
