Fantastic Raszpla!!  Did you copy an original barrel or is it your own design?

Outstanding craftsmanship is a severe understatment. Just waiting for your posts is worth alot more than the price of admission.  Words just dont do justice to your work and abilities.

Ok ! My mind is sufficiently blown !

Question !  In one of the picture/diagrams it says  "Cis - Yew - Taxusboom"
This seems to indicate that Yew wood is being used for the stock ! Is this the case ?

Yew is more of a soft wood ..... THE wood for an  English Longbow, but for a gun stock ... a bit surprising

Fascinating, beautiful and educational - I think I can now see why wheel locks are always described as having been too expensive, back in the day, for the common man.
And you've barely started on the decoration!
Thanks for showing.

Truly a symphony in steel.  I wish you could describe how you did this.  If you describe in polish, I'll try to get it translated.
