Good morning folks .
I should have made a note that this patch box lid is only 2 inches across total
It can be Gary or it can be line or a mix of both line and stipple .
What I just finished is all line work and all strait lines not curved . In some places on the elk , I got to heavy handed , thus the lines show to much . The texture of the body of te elk should be more like on the tree .
I also have been told that there should be no need to ink in the cuts so as to see the design , regardless of the angle the light hits it .
That part I got for the most part . There is one angle which if its viewed from the design disappears
Still along ways to go .
with the scrimshaw rum cup , thats all dot work and was just a practice piece . i wanted to see how well the Lindsey universal point worked for that type of work . It didn’t work all that bad but it did make rather large dots .
