[Linc]

This may not belong in this forum, if not just pull it.

I spent a few hours yesterday cutting and engraving an antler burr medallion. It wasn't scrimmed. That burr wuz tuff as nails.LOL. Soz I engraved it. One side is a cross and the obverse is side is an attempt at a Celtic heart.

Link  I like the looks of them, What did you use to do the inengraving

[Linc]

I used a dremel tool for most of it. And I also used a utility knife to do the little bit of fine lines around the cross and some writing on the obverse side.

looks good, linc, how'd you keep the antler from turning black when ya inked it? I tried that once and the ink just went into every tiny crack and pore. Maybe I used a too old antler?

[Linc]

This antler was very old and dry. Extremely hard. I filed it down to a polish. After aplying the ink, any area that had ink that shouldn't have, I buffed the best I could with 00 steel wool till it was gone.
