Another Oil Bottle
« on: June 28, 2020, 12:31:25 AM »
A friend asked me to make an oil bottle slightly larger than the square ones I make.  Made for a cased brace of pistols.  Made this one from brass, but he might want it in silver..... :o    Just thought it might be of interest.

Awesome piece Dave.  I have a couple of your items and all are excellent including one of your 'square' ones.  I assume you have a few of these that may be available?Gary

That is some crisp and meticulous work again David.  Just beautiful.  Architecture and details.  Not much room for your engraving though.  :-)
