This was a nice traditional job I did recently for a customer. It is a fairly straight forward engraving using my adaptation of McKenzie style scroll with 24K gold inlay borders. The background is relieved, stippled and inked. The knife is a very nice Persian style gents folder with green apple jade made by Steve Hoel.

It's not often that I get a straight forward scroll with gold borders job. I think a lot of folks don't believe I do traditional work like this since most of the jobs my clients ask for are very ornate thematic pieces. I actually enjoy doing smaller jobs like this. They are a nice change from the laborious larger theme pieces.
