It's been quite a while since I've been able to burn any silver, with work 'n' all. Just finished up this buckle for a M/C repair shop and cafe owner.................I had the name engraved into the edge but they couldn't get it deep enough so the oxidation didn't hold..................  3" diameter  GD Terrapin Bolt Buckle, sterling on sterling...............  Winged SYF, sterling on sterling on brass backing.................  |

Very nice Steve. I really like the tree silhouette on the black oxidation. I think the letters will stand out after wear and oxidation starts. Nice job.  Eric(Ajo) |

Oh, I forgot to mention in the original post that the buckle is 14g overlayed on 18g sterling and it was all cut using a #0000 Dagger saw blade.............and I only broke three blades.................  |
