New Fouler from Chuck Edwards
« on: June 27, 2016, 12:38:10 AM »
After about a year, off and on of working on my own, I finally got myself a new fouler. Based on an original fouler out of London, Griffin and Tow. Hope ya'll enjoy it.

Lovely pelter Chuck.  I especially like the lock work.  Perfect for this gun.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Outstanding! As I have said before, I have always liked your english work. Your engraving skills far exceed anyone else's english work out there working today. Did you forge the buttplate and trigger guard?
 I believe this gun compares well with that english fowling gun Mark Silver built some years ago. Truly incredible work.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
