Sorry Allen, still not seeing anything but a bunch of boxes with an X in the middle.

I'm sure glad he can build rifles! He may be looking for another job if he
worked in the computer field, LOL.

Sorry Allen just couldn't resist.
Outstanding craftsmanship by the way!!!!

OK guys, Allen is one $#*! of a builder, BUT, he can't seem to get his photos loaded.

Let's see if I can make it happen.

Check it out!!

That looks just beautiful Allen! I love it!

David G · « **Reply #38 on:** March 12, 2011, 02:49:10 AM »

Geez louise! That is carving that you can just keep on looking at. Busy yes, but masterfully done. Amazing work Allen.

A.Merrill · « **Reply #39 on:** March 12, 2011, 04:20:15 AM »

Allen, how long did it take you to do all the carving? When you stain it will you use the same strength stain on the carving as the rest of the gun or will you thin it as you go over the carving? Very,Very nice work. AL

AMerril,

I can answer that. Less than two days. Allen sent me the "rough" drawings on the evening of the 8th. He sent me these this morning.

Who says there's no such thing as "good and fast"??

Long Ears · « **Reply #41 on:** March 12, 2011, 05:23:46 AM »

Allen, your carving is amazing, your eye for the art and then transferring it to the wood is amazing as well. An artist divine! Thanks for sharing. Dane, congratulations! Bob

Yer one lucky Dude, Dane.

It just keeps geting better.

Oh man, I thought that was my ex-wife.....Lady Liberty huh? Seriously, I am just stunned at how well you captured that style of carving. Makes my work look like cave petroglyphs. Maybe I need a sharper rock?

M Tornichio · « **Reply #45 on:** March 12, 2011, 04:24:48 PM »

Very nice Allen!
I think this rifle looks to be one of the fanciest ones that I have seen built by you.
Dane you are very fortunate to be able to get such a nice quality rifle by one of the best.
Please post finished pictures.
I love it.

I like that carving hats off to you guys that can do that my carving attempts look like they were done with a 3lb hammer and a dull buther knife. lol

That is drop dead gorgous. My better half doesn't appreciate things like this. But when I showed her the pictures, she was speechless. Smallpatch you are one lucky dude to have a work of art like this.

smallpatch · « **Reply #49 on:** March 16, 2011, 11:50:26 PM »

Amen, brother.

I just can't wait to get her in my hands. Soon, very soon.
