Fence Post #2

[davec2]

This is the second of the rifles that I started many years ago and then stopped because of what I was learning here.  (Original story is here and I won't repeat it      http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/272622/).  As before, I had started several parts of this rifle long ago and am just trying to do the best I can with what I have.  The stock is fairly well shaped and most parts inletted.  Before I make some other decisions, I thought I would engrave a few parts trying to incorporate lessons learned on my last rifle.

Lock, side plate, and rear ram rod pipe using less overall engraving and more traditional designs.  Not there yet, but making forward progress.

That's amazing and extremely artful work on that gun. I have to say, beautiful.

 

[Walks with fire]

Very nice; beautiful work. I am curious about how long it took you to do just one piece of that? Like how long to do the sideplate?

Are you using a chasing hammer or one of the power systems?

If that is your idea of a fence post, I want to see some of your "good" work. Wow. That is just amazing.
