I need a friend like that !!

I made a mistake in the description of the gun, it's a Colonial from Kibler
Sorry my fault

Yes very nice and clean work. Hope we can see the finished gun.

That’s some superb carving.
That one must have been brought to the colonies from the Old Country.

This is amazing. Can't imagine to ever reach this level myself.
May I ask if this friend of yours is a member here? I ask because I live in Germany and am actually finishing a jaeger rifle kit and wonder if I try carving by myself of if I should involve someone with way more talent than me..

Amazing work. Just when I start to think I might try carving ....
I believe this level of talent cannot be taught.

Beautiful carving. So clean and concise.

I don’t have that level of concentration and I think skill is lacking as well. Fantastic work.

I like it !! Sharp eye catching and alive , love it. Some talent in those hands. Steve

The carving is so sharp and clean I'm wondering if he used the stab in method for the outline work. $:-\$

mikeyfirelock · « **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2022, 06:06:04 AM »

I’d just like to be able to sharpen my tools well enough to do that level of carving

hawkeye · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2022, 12:14:57 PM »

Smylee grouch, I don't know what method is used to make the fine carving, only the guy who's doing it for him is a professional carver

Here some more pictures of the colonial kibler and the one with the walnut stock is the Edward Marshall longrifle

Grischi · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2022, 09:23:02 PM »

This is just incedibly beautiful.

Daryl · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2022, 06:01:05 AM »

Yes it is - incised coupled with relief carving, making the height necessary for the 'flavour' without being too high in actuality.
