Looks like Jersh has picked what he wants if he meant the second one, well done! Now the hard part of somebody making an inkblock style engraving version of this... I can do some studies later if needed but if you/anybody has more experience doing the engraver's style it would be for the best - I only ever have done it from reference of existing designs for making CNC milled printing blocks or coin dies.
In the mean time, did he ever say which type of Federal seal or otherwise he wanted it to be like?
