Ladies and Gentlemen of the Creek,
I have yet again, stuck my proverbial foot in my mouth. A customer has ordered 500 of a custom alder wood coin. Sounds marvelous, except...the border is a rope design. (see image) AND it is to be engraved front and back. This has had a 30/70 success rate of completely aligning the sides up. I am looking for suggestions and recommendations.
The first side engraves well, cuts out well (aside from the burning, which I would like to clear up too) but when I flip it and fit it snuggly back into the place it was cut from there seems to be consistent misalignment. I've tweaked it over and over, but can't find a good solution. So I turn to the wisdom of the Creek.
Thank you.
