Nice work you've got to get her out in the air more.

That is beautiful work, as someone else said, all those open areas within the patch box and elsewhere are so well done, you really should take a crack at building another one.

Everyone else said it better than I could - just wow. Works of art need to be out in the open where they can be appreciated.

I'm with everyone else's comments. Good Grief, all that open work inletting, not to mention cutting out and engraving the pieces themselves. Yikes ! That's some very fine work.

I haven't built any guns in many years. These pictures are of one I built for myself in the 1970's. I pulled her out of the safe recently and thought I'd post a couple pictures. She's a swamped barreled 50 caliber. The inlays, patchbox, side plate etc, etc. are all my own design and my own engraving.
