metalOne thing to note about this job is how the rows of diamonds are perfectly straight across the pattern. Perfection in layout and execution.

Well...the lines do wander a bit near the front tang. But.. Making parallel lines across a compound curve is theoretically impossible. The lines have to be "cheated" to make illusion of parallel. He did damn good! Sure hope this doesn't create a demand for fluer de lis" (Grin)

MNRAmen to that! Don't want any more demand for fleur-de-lis. One heck of a nice job by Jesse!

Duane since you brought it up, how does one "cheat" the lines, when you have the time of course.

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)Just a litle pressure to the tool. Fill in the pattern with lines @ 1/2" intervals (grease pencil or equal) so if you start to wander it becomes pretty evident and you can take corrective measures.
