Jim Kelso Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hey guys. I recently finished this chasaji (tea-scoop) in iron, 115mm long. Belly in pure silver nunome zogan (koftgari). The engraving is katakiri-bori which emulates sumi ink painting, one of my favorite engraving techniques.

Mark Strom Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Wonderful work Jim. I really appreciate the minimalism and tool control required to produce this type of work. It is hard to compose a design and takes control and experience to execute it successfully. You have succeeded at both, always a joy to see your work.
