Lee, Shane Thompson did those. Here is what the gripcap is going to look like. It'll have a little scroll with it I think.  What Roger is doing to this rifle is simply amazing. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Roger, do you do your stippling with some sort of fixture or machine, or do you hand-prick every stipple with a punch? I've made some multi-point stippling tools, out of reshaped and rehardened punches, but have never been perfectly satisfied with the results. I know that many traditional hammer-&-chisel engravers actually use a power tool for their simple stippling and shading but I don't have one. Do I need to start saving for a machine or do I need to cultivate more patience with the hand stippler? Or maybe start using a different hand stippler? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use a chisel shaped punch about 80 or 90 thou wide. I stipple in 3 directions. 0, 45 left and 45 right. This gives a uniform non- directional matte. Hand or machine... shouldn't make much difference either way. Roger Kehr Kehr Engraving Company (360)456-0831 | |||

Thanks, Roger. I figured that the machine would be lots faster for at least the larger open areas but the little punch you described is a lot cheaper.....

I usually roll my eyes when everyone starts falling all over themselves to complement the latest custom work to be posted. It is usually very nice but I really can't see getting too worked up about it. But Mr. Kehr's engraving is a different story. Engraving usually leaves me cold, but Roger's work is always amazing. Mr. Kehr, looking at your engraving is an experience that I can't describe except to compare it to looking at a painting done your favorite painter(for me that would be Van Gogh or Monet). My eye is drawn in, but I can't focus on one detail because each detail draws the eye to the next. Amazing work!

I have seen some nice art before on some firearms but this is unlike anything I have seen. The others I would see take a second to look at it and move on calling it too much. But this just flat out is fantastic. I have yet see anything come close to this. I just do hope its not done on CNC!

I got the last pictures from Roger today. What can I say? I knew when I called him I was going to get a nice engraving job, but I would have never imagined the results. This is going to be a beautiful rifle.    Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||
