Amazing.All done by hand right?Where do you go to learn somthing like that?
Does he do wood too?

Tell your friend his work is epic.
 
Geez, how did you know my anniversary is coming up!?!? That is so nice of you to have that done for me. I would have preferred Pugs instead of hunting dogs but it is the thought that counts. :D
 
Fantastic! I have no idea on pricing for engraving, is the $20,000 because it is so detailed AND on a shotgun?

Gorgeous work.
 
What type of gun is that on Wild?

A Winchester 21. When done it will be about $30-35K.

Here are some words from Jim, I know he is lurking here:

"The oak leaves on the fences took an entire day (and that was after I laid them out). The pattern comes from an original 21 pattern, and the scrolls match the size and spacing. However, the Kusmits were about third generation from Ulrich, and I simply could not do work as poorly as they did. They used a very simple open English scroll. This scroll is from an original Webley single shot rifle that I duplicated for a guy who started building them a few years ago. I liked the pattern enough that I have used it a couple of times, and I think goes well here. The pattern had a couple of standing birds on the receiver bottom, and a pointer and setter on the sides. The triggerguard also had a dog's head of similar size and fashion."

Time. Hes been at this one for a year (not full time of course)...I'm going to ask how many hours he has into it.

The curves are so smooth a cut, I first thought they were done by a power engraver (ie:Gravermiester).....photos are a little deceiving, but upon closer inspection it looks like it's all hand chiseled. Remarkable work, makes my engraved Belgiums look like they were done with a claw hammer.
 
OMG is that gorgeous.



PS Next time please down size the photos before posting, large photos are hard for us small screen folks to view.
