Thread: Imperial Eagle...5 dollars worth of experience...

Joe, Bravo!! Style isn't my cup of tea, but your execution and attitude stand quite tall. Your wedge execution is giving me an enema in my imagination. I'm not the brightest at style and aesthetics. I hope you do more scale work, 'Just seeing your ideas is helpful.

Glen - dang. I would never have thought to use cutouts or sculpting to 'frame' the etching. 'Brilliant. When it comes to style, I'm not safe outside w/out my mother!

Thanks everyone! Pinklather, I'm laughing, but hesitant to ask...Is an enema in your imagination a good thing? I was going for soft flowing lines originally but it kind of ended up a bit more hard lined I think.

And Glenn, I think you're right about the way the stamp sits. I was going for just the eagle, but a tiny slip at the sander, and well, you know the rest. lol. So, I stopped while I still felt safe and tried my best to make it flow. Sanding smooth radius's (radii?) is quite a challenge. It may be time for a little magic marker and sanding drum time again.

Thanks again to everyone!

Interesting concept-I have an Improved Eagle that is one of my daily shavers.

I like it for sure.

Looking Good!! Putting those carpenter skills to work! I never thought of forming the scales to the etching, very ingenious!! Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Thanks for sharing with us!!
