Both the piercing and the carving were done with a high-speed, air operated engraver (NSK Pronto II) For the maple leaves, they were outlined on the rim with a laser. Each leaf was then outlined with a diamond ball bit. The same bit was then used to engrave the veins of each leaf. Details were carved with a slender tapered diamond bit. The background relief was carved using both ball and flame diamond bits, The piercing was done using 699 carbide bit without a predetermined pattern. Each piercing was done randomly.
