I had always been fascinated by leather and metal work and started doing leather carving.
I recently saw this video on Facebook.
Both leather work and metal engraving use the same floral "scroll" look.

This is as good as it gets.
Watch for two things on the video -
1. All the curved lines (even when set close side-by-side) radiate from a center base point. The interior curved lines all flow - no bends.
2. The metal piece being engraved rotates under the graver tool. The cutter (graver) stays still.
TIP: This is the mistake some rocket builders make when cutting the curve on card stock shrouds. While cutting, the scissors stay still while the shroud card stock is turned.
