Rob Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Great cutting and a lovely piece of timber. Is that a coin inset into the handle? Rob LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nicely done Larry, the medallion really sets it off. If you ever cut more of this pattern, why not try using a different color of wood for the grip section? Just a thought.

I did experimenting trying to add the crisscross pattern... would have added much too much time to do it right. Did not think of off-setting wood color Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critiques encouraged With all the coatings you've used on this firearm I'll bet it really looks like high polished steel!Each and every project you do is top notch ,up to par and better than it has to be.Your cribbage boards left an impression in me of a perfectionist dream.Your little towns ,stage coaches all the same never ending strive for perfectionism .Your run in with scroll saws I'm sure was no coincident,It was made to be!

oldhudson Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nice work! The anti-gun nuts will still condemn it though! We need to follow Switzerland's gun laws! I'll buy that argument when all US citizens have to serve a stint in our military, like Swiss citizens do. And while most Swiss citizens are armed, by the government, they don't keep the ammunition, just the issued firearm. I prefer you not refer to me as a "nut". I think the 'nuts' are the ones who kill people in schools and churches. LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
