Different things have taken up my time lately, so not much has been going on related to engraving and knife making. But the other day I engraved a spoon. It was again sort of experiment – I did not prepare the design beforehand, but made it up as I started the engraving.
Also, this was the first spoon I found, or actually any other kitchenware, that wasn’t made of terribly hard metal and was easily engrave-able.
Back on the road again. I’ve been really busy last month or so with other things, so there wasn’t much going on in knife making and engraving.
So to get myself going again I grabbed a spoon from kitchen and did a quick engraving on in.
A little step-by-step.
Design done, transferred and ready to engrave:
Engraving and shading completed:
Background relieving – used rotary tool for that:

All in all it took me about 3 hours to finish, including design.
