this is my latest morgan carving.

Thats really warped.

Now that is pretty darn nice!! I love the detail going clockwise around the coin from the date.

Excellent.

That is really awesome!

Very creative - it must be cool to be able to see that in your mind before you make it happen.

Cool!

I was just curious what kind of tools are used to make a carving such as that. It is very cool.

i use the same tools that knife and gun engravers use, including a microscope..

Have you done any die engraving? I am making crude dies in my metalsmithing classes at school to roll and hammer cob-style coins for a few projects. I'm curious, where do you purchase your engraving tools? I basically just need to engrave brass, nothing like steel really, at least not right now lol.

Very well done engraving work btw, MUCH better than my current skill level.....gimme a few years....

go to a search engine and look at these three companies..i,ve brought tools from each of them...#1 gesswein #2 grs #3 riogrande... most tools you buy will last a lifetime and then some.

Neat!

great carving.

EXCELLENT!!

I would love to see what you could do with a Churchill?

Wow, cool hobo morgan! Maybe you can give a Susan B. Anthony a makeover too, eh... she NEEDS it

It could only be an improvement.

That is a beautiful Morgan, Bill !!! Outstanding design and execution

I always look forward to seeing your work.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I was showing off your work to my fiance and the picture doesn't seem to be on here anymore...

EDIT: Actually, I can't find any of your pictures through the search engine. Could you please re-post some of them?

Thanks!

I,m not sure which coin i had posted, but i,ll add a nice silver dollar to posting.

Thanks, that's the first time I've seen that one. LOVE the edging!
