    Mike,

    That came out beautifully!

    Can you expound on that acrylic technique?

    With your new machine you could just engrave the whole thing without moving it and worrying about registration.
    That's what I do with Denim Jackets. Just spread it out flat on top, a few pins around the edges (not advisable with leather) to hold it tight and firm, then stuff the rest under the table..
    Nice job on the Elk hide, and particularly on the registration. That acrylic is a good idea.. Hope I can remember it

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
