I’m slowly adding some details.  Hopefully will finish it sometime soon, but I’m not known for speed.  ;)

Every time I see it, or a picture of it, I know it will turn out beautifully.

Really nice Jeff. When you’re treading new waters best not to hurry. This one’s going to be a real peach of a rifle.

That's some really beautiful work! The effect of the carving is fascinating. The design itself looks relatively simple at first glance and then you start thinking about the different heights and depths and how they transition and it becomes much more complicated to understand. Thank you for posting, I hope to see it at April's class?

Jeff, if my thumb was the size of Wayne’s, I’d give it a “thumbs up”…but since mine are smaller I have to give it “two thumbs up “!  Looking good, my friend…real good!

Very nice and clean carving. Did you put a brass box or wood on it?

It’s got a wood box, still to be carved.

Your carving is so classic looking. So crisp and clean. Your work and artistry looks exquisite!
