Color is great. Nice scoop above the cheek piece. Cheek piece is a little long, cramped your carving a bit. I do that from time to time as well.

Nice work!  I like the colors and patina too. I’m heading down the Dickert path as well on my next build...hope it comes out as nice as this one!

Sweet! Very nicely done. Like the carving and the patina. I too want to build a Jacob Dickert. I’ve collected a very components over the years and many photos from sellers on TOW. Yours is a great reference also.

Looks real good except way too much fake brass black.

Great looking Dickert. Architecture and carving look spot on. All around very pleasing.

Very nicely done, sir.  I particularly like the color and patina of the wood, and your carving is very well executed.
