Side Plate Engraving

Here is the side plate for a Kentucky Fowler that I am finishing up for my show in Alabama next week. Most Kentucky Fowlers had very little engraving on them but a few did and I have decided that this one will be one of the few. I will post more pictures when I get her buttoned up.

Beautifully and tastefully done.
There's not much I wouldn't give to be able to engrave.

Yep, That’s very nice, indeed. I like the counterbores, too.

Looks nice! Even just a little engraving can add so much more to the whole piece.

This is the finished Fowler. I will have this Fowler on the Contemporary Display Rack at the Alabama Kentucky Rifle show this coming weekend. The Contemporary Display Rack at the show is for any and all Contemporary built rifles that anyone wants to display their Contemporary Rifle or Rifles. You do not have to be the builder, you can be the owner of the piece. We are going to let the public vote on their favorite pieces and award a 1st, 2nd & 3rd place ribbon for the top three vote getters on Saturday morning of the show.
So, bring your best work or your favorite piece that you own and put it on the rack.
