Lion, old school hand engraving

[Bob in SF]

I've always enjoyed old school hand engraving - this one done from life at the SF Zoo - point geometry based on the techniques and sharpening jigs of master engraver Steve Lindsay
Copper, 4x6":

He's ready for whiskers.

Happy Thursday - Bob

Wonderful artistry! (I thought you were plucking his whiskers...) :wink:

Sincere thanks JP, Peter, Gordon, and Mark!

Engraving reminds me of turning - decisive, carefully subtractive, and no rewind.
