Featured Engraved fork

Not sure if he was bored or just playing around..... Вячеслав Иванов

 

Love that! Great work to my eyes!

 

What am I looking at here? Is this a before and after situation? Working metal like that is called chasing.

 

In progress engraving and finished,no chasing involved in this piece.

 

There's engraving there for sure, but I think there's also tools being used that are not engraving.

 

The design was made from two pieces, one cut out using a jewelers saw, then the two pieces were assembled and soldered, the design details were then engraved. Beautiful design.

Like this ring design. The lamination starts at minute 10:00

 

The fork is deep relief engraving,it is a solid fork no soldered lamination on the fork.

I am well versed on making overlay pieces.....

 

Where's the rest of the article? I am also well versed in this subject.

 

Gotta say, looks to me like a graver was used for everything - was told decades ago, that in the simplest of terms, 'chasing moves metal, engraving removes metal'...
