\n<\/a>Today is all about sculpting and detailing the centipede. \u00a0More work with a flat graver, followed sculpting with a small flat faced punch (with a slightly radius on the face). \u00a0Above, you can see the results of about two hours of sculpting.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Here’s the same thing, but with a quick patina added. \u00a0Much improved, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>I want the centipede body to really stand out as very dark, something not easily done in stainless steel. \u00a0 I’ve carefully stippled each body segment with a small carbide round, sharpened to a short taper on a diamond lap.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>And , above, an overall view of about three hours of work today.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!<\/p>\n
