Almost done with the sheep. Last part of the job.
A gift to a son from his father. Wiebe stockwork, Dubell metal work.Nice little rifle.

Beautiful Roger.

Another fabulous job. I know my son is going to love it. You really knocked it out of the park again.

You, Duane, and Jim are first rate gentleman. Thanks for making this a reality.

I really like that!

Very nice!

All done and ready to deliver.

Both Roger and I have been called a lot of things.."Gentlemen"? Wow...I'm making copies of this!

Gorgeous work.

Duane, to funny. Lol

I too have been called many things and gentlemen occasionally makes even my list. I can't imagine you could be any worse.

Besides you and Roger have always been straight up honest with me on every project. Even when the response was not exactly what I wanted to hear. That goes a long way in my book. I like honest answers not BS. Some of my former soldiers, who still talk with me, will tell you I was not the easiest to work for but will also tell you I never "shot the messenger" over honest bad news. Give me a BS story and things were quite different. I don't like bad news but stuff happens. Unfortunately not everyone is the same.

On the other hand any day no one is shooting at me or trying to blow me up is a good day.

Beautiful. What blackens the dark part of the scroll? Will it wear off?

Duane,

Don't know why I did'nt think of thi earlier ...

Guess I should as for a "flattery" discount, but that might elicit one of those honest replies with one of those well deserved "other" names I have been called. Lol

The black is from shadow. The rifle will be blued, but even then the scroll background will be darker.
