Members rleather Posted January 13, 2024 Members Report Posted January 13, 2024 Man that bear really makes a statement! You nailed the overall flow of the design. What back ground tool did you use around the bear? On 1/12/2024 at 8:31 PM, WalterF said: Thank you. Finished the sling Expand Quote

Members MarshalWill Posted January 13, 2024 Members Report Posted January 13, 2024 Beautiful tooling. Looks good. Very nice work. What function does the hole in the middle of the strap fulfill? Quote

Some say a little easier to sling the rifle. On 1/13/2024 at 11:05 AM, BigBore said: Stunning work! Expand Thank you Quote
