Beat it flat with a hammer. Or appropriate punch. Give you a nice textured surface to engrave on.

Michael Dubner (hope I spelled that right) did some engraving for me and he somehow managed to remove the checkering from a top lever and carve in a totally cool scroll. No trace of the original border or checkering. You can reach him at the engravers' guild site.
