Nice!  I think the little pistol barrel is just the cutest thing ever!

Oh man.  Great stuff.  Which is better, the barrel shaped one or the engraved one.  What a choice.  Super work as usual Dave.  God Bless,  Marc

Looks real nice in the pictures.  The square one looks just like the one I received in the mail Saturday.  Oh wait!!  It is mine.  Excellent work.  Worth the money.  I bought the engraved depth gauge a couple of years ago.    Plain works as good as fancy, but fancy is more fun.  May have to have the gun barrel also.  Didn't know you made that one.

I was visiting with a gentleman this afternoon who has a fine collection of vintage oiler bottles.  I smiled as several look very similar to the square one shown here....just without the eye-candy engraving that David is so good at. 

I also saw a photo of some wooden ball tubes that Ron Hess made.  Very much like the barrel shape here....sort of like a cannon barrel.  One would make a super companion to the oiler above. 

Best wishes, and God Bless,  Marc

Both are examples of exquisite workmanship.

That being said... The square one speaks to me. It's amazing.

Thank you for sharing.

Love your work Dave.  Always a pleasure to the eye.

Jewelry makers got nothing on you, Dave.  That is fabulous work.
