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.................. dunno

3" diameter

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. yes Eric(Ajo)
