Hand Engraving

I started to learn to hand engrave back in the 80’s in New Orleans, I met a very generous man by the name of Dennis Daigle who saw a spark of creativity in me and took me under his wing.

Dennis could turn his hand to pretty much anything and was more than happy to share his skills with me. I haven’t seen him since (he passed away a few years later) but he turned out to be one of the most influential people in my life and I owe him a great debt of gratitude.
