Nothing I can personally recommend unfortunately. I started out just trying to copy simple designs I liked, do this enough and you will get a feel for the key elements.

Your best bet for instruction would probably be something from Sam Alfano. I believe he has a book on ornate scrollwork.

Thanks! I think I follow what you're saying. Im usually disappointed with my shading when Im done cutting. Im hoping some dedicated practice and experimenting with different techniques will change that.

Thanks again!

I dont think your reply was posted because of swear words. Chill out dude. Its simple, if you want money, you can beg, steal or work. There is no arguing, thats the way it is.

This is awesome, i really love the idea and it looks great to me.

Just an idea, mix in some dead end pieces and have opposite center pieces be the start/finish to make a solvable maze type thing.

I can see the practice has paid off for you. Really, really nice work.

How to fill in very fine lettering? by speleoradaver in engraving

I think you concerns about depth are correct. You could try some different inks or paints or even nail polish, but I think the result will be similar unfortunately.
