Thank you for
visiting!! I hope this site will help make you familiar with my
work and me (as much as that is possible to
do in this electronic medium). I find that the web and e-mail are
fine for initial contacts, but by the time you have decided to have me
engrave for you, personal contact is a must, either by phone or face to
face at one of the many shows I do.
I have
been engraving, full time, since 1979, beginning with Scrimshaw
(The Art of Engraving on Ivory). I learned to make silver and
gold jewelry so as to mount my scrimshaw and soon began hand engraving
jewelry. I progressed into knife engraving
(which is still a large part of the work I do), perfecting my engraving
skills until the time I cut my first gun in 1988. Since then I have
engraved an average of 50 guns and dozens of custom knives a year. |
