I'm in Mountain Home. Now, the roads are deadly with old people who shouldn't be driving.

To give folks some idea
This barrel I did many years ago using a simple ¼ inch triangle file as a square chase graver



for this Rum cup , the engraving on the brass and the scrimshaw work was also done with a type of square graver in my Lindsey classic .
It could have just as easily been done with a 1/8 triangle file


this buttplate I cut using the same 1/4 , triangle file chase graver

Hoot Al that is very good engraving. It's not over done. It looks good. And it's not simple. Captchee that is great work. Dead Eye what a great post of the lock.There are some truly talented and knowledgeable people at this fire.
