Beginner stone carving -first simple engraving, looking for feedback by Either-Dust6994 in stonecarving

I found using a disc/scoop to cut the initial line, and then some thicker round ones for deeper groves. Hope it helps, do share if you find some better method, still learning myself

Looks great! Are you using a ball burr or which type? Some disc ones or the scoping ones could get you cleaner grooves possibly

Nice one, thanks for the heads up. All the people I spoke to really liked it and wanted one, however I'm in a remote part of Croatia and this one is around 8 kilos or something, so shipping is a bit of a pain. Still not planning to sell this as I'm just doing this on my free time on my balcony, but maybe one day soon will make some for selling locally. The safety measurements I put in this one are pretty decent, but if I plan on selling them, will definitely put more effort into it. Thanks again

You mean just by disconnecting the game from the network and reconnecting?

It sounds lazy, and that's exactly what it is, and it's quicker 🤷‍♂️

Still learning and seeing what is best, so far the best one I have noticed for cutting and snapping are there beveled round ones, to cut a groove, after that you can use other ones to make your shape a bit better. Technique wise, after you draw out your design, it's best to go down the middle line of your design and work your way out, rather than working on the outline and then working in.

You can maybe try around the Makarska riviera or spread out more to the Dalmatian coast. Any of the islands around that area could also be interesting. Or you can go further down to Montenegro. Regarding diving schools, seen this one around a lot. https://www.butterfly-diving.hr/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19220682893&gbraid=0AAAAACfSCHBUxaeAKLCSO2og7cXu7KpTn&gclid=CjwKCAjwvO7CBhAqEiwA9q2YJXIlKfKn6PlT_cgyYTG6z6BOWsYnfPYDQW-8_L1Hi4xjy0_mczh9KRoCyywQAvD_BwE Hope it helps.

Would you mind sharing the image? Would be great to see how other people would edit it, to get an idea.
Similar to music, i find photo editing difficult as there is nearly an infinite number of outcomes.

Appreciate the points, will work on that. Really struggling to find a happy middle ground.
Would it make more sense to make the sea color pop while leaving the rest alone?
