I was showing my wife the craftsmanship involved in this and was wondering if Mike has anything on the web where he shows exactly how he does this type of engraving...???

He does have a web site http://www.parduesilversmith.com but it doesn't show the process.

You might search for air assisted hand engraving. All his work is done by hand with the air assist graver and his hand drawn patterns. All the applied materials are hand cut and soldered on. He also makers Beautiful Western Buckles and Cowboy gear. As well as the odd piece of jewelery.
Mike is a fine silversmith and a good Christian man.
