Frosty Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I LIKE it Chris. I'm thinking a near miss would take a guy right out of a fight. Not that I'm suggesting getting into a hawk fight. I'm just looking at the remaining rasp teeth and visualizing them rubbing my head at speed. . . Owwwwwww!.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar.esq Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 To add to Frosty's comment. I think that rasp end communicates "this will lead to infection". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus Blargostadt Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Very nice. The lines are so flawless I thought it might have been a stamp or something. How did you get the different coloration inside the heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Very nice. The lines are so flawless I thought it might have been a stamp or something. How did you get the different coloration inside the heart?My guess is etching...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris john Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Shamus and LastRonin both not realy right close tho ,Centre of heart has been textured with a punch i made on a piece of quarter rod useing a checkering file tomake the pattern on punch face then hardened so i could texture the heart ..Making the steel look a bit used i wiped it over with a bit of hydrocloric and fuming nitric acid what stayed in the heartpatinaed it hope that explains it .Chris Edited April 1, 2015 by Chris john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
