Nice one Ted! I have a HF to carve and have a band very similar on it. Wasn’t sure if I should carve on leave as is. This one has helped me decide to leave it as is.

Started to do a hammered texture on the band but decided to leave it. Not sure if the two textures go together. The carved and the burned stippling. What do you say?

Tough call, part of me likes it and part of me thinks maybe add just a little texture. I guess 75% of me likes it the way it is and 25% wonders what a little texture would do 😁
