thats probably done with an engraver of some sort. You can find ppl who do this, like jewellers who do engraving on silverware etc. and they may do some for you or advise you what to use.
You can use dremel type tools with small engravig bits if your'e skillful enough.
Etching with acid or something would require very good stencils or something, which i can;t see working well.
The only way it looks good is if it is done by a machine to be honest, like a CNC routing machine. |
