What can I say but WOW! Great looking call. Did you do the engraving on the band or have it done? Looks great. How about a close up of it.

Looking forward to the picture. What tool are you using for the engraving? Are you using a stencil or just free handing it? The reason I am asking is that on Friday I am picking up a FOREDOM 350K Air Turbine from one of my local forum members. I have never used one before and am looking forward to it. I have the Foredom SR hanging motor with foot control, but the speed is only about 18,000 rpm while the 350K is 350,000 rpm. I have to buy separate tools for it.

Braz,I am using a scm engraver,I am using a stencil to mark out the letters,then you have to free hand to relief cut the letters to make them stand out and to do the stappling around the letters.You will need some magnifying glasses.If you need any help let me know not that I am a expert but I have trashed a few bands

That's kinda how I figured you were doing it. Sounds like a bit of work, but for a nice band, well worth it. Would love to see a small tutorial type post, with pictures, of you doing your work. Definately some close ups of the band from different angles.
