Gezzer

down sized just a bit

looks like I have hit the ole 1.46 wall ......... I'll try again in a little while

My head won't tilt that far so I hope you don't mind . Very nice work

Kidney stones will make a man get right with the Lord cause you just know you are about to meet Him !!!!!! Man I hope those are the last of it .

If it were me and I had to have it removable I think I would run the handle ends through for a short distance and use " pull the dot " snaps or whatever they are called on both ends . Just another option to think about .

Looks awesome !!! Gradually increasing the flower size is a great idea and really makes this very classy !!!

Nice work , freebie or not he should be pleased !!!!!!

@spacedog Thank you !!!!! I plan on keeping an eye on your stuff and learning a few things

@HavnerDesign I am curious , what did you come up with ?

I can't help myself ............... that is just too COOL !!

Very NICE !!!

First and foremost WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My only thought with the strings here would be to have backgrounded and dyed then because you have used some paint here and there .... paint the strings in . Again WELL DONE !!!!!!!!

@Pappys Leather I just remembered you are having swivel knife trouble , you can try this . Once the letter is traced on .... don't cut just use a bevel and backgrounder if you are wanting the sunken look. It works pretty well and looks good ( you may want to do better than this example ). I haven't tried but I don't see any reason it would not work for the raised letter look as well , just a thought and I know you'll get it figured out ! Merry Christmas

Can ya still get ammo for that ?

Like Fredk said but add an indicator between letters to help with lining up . Use clear packing tape on front and back and you will have a set of letters that you can use over and over .

Took a pause on the shading and picked back up on the dye . This is with some powered pigments I have gotten in and have some hope for . we'll see .

Thanks ! Trust me I can't even spell perfecshun , I call mine goofs character enhancers . Firebird chicken is well over my head but I would like to see someone do it , would be " very cool " !!!!! Thanks Chuck ! This ole boy I did this for wouldn't need any other makers ......... he don't even know anybody else makes guns

or Phoenix ,or Prussian Eagle ...... whatever you call it Ruger logo . Yes I missed the lower beak , may have to do another as this was for a buddy , but he might be O K with it as is .

Can't add much but I get most of mine from SLC and I think I have had 1 maybe 2 pieces of HO , most of what I use is just fine for practice . I try and look at cost like I do ammunition for the other hobby , doesn't seem to sting quite as bad.

Hope you get in the house before His birthday . Have a Good Thanksgiving !

WELL DONE ! It sounds to me as though both of you are indeed blessed .

WOW !! Yes I have a hair blade but mind must be defective , looks like it may be another 10 0r 15 years before Rome gets built if then .

I went back and did a carving I did about 4 and 1/2 months ago . Not quite as much improvement as I was hoping for but Rome wasn't built in a day either . I am making some progress on figuring out the dye thing . 4 1/2 months ago and now .

I should have added that 5 or 7 even 9 braid can be done . ps it's called mystery braid not magic
