I thought I might share pictures of a couple of rifles I've been scratching and chopping and wearing out pencils and erasers on. New variations and developments on recurring themes.

Excellent symphonious carving! Generally I don't care for metal patch boxes, in this case it fits within the harmony of the design. Life prefers Liberty?
Look forward to the finished work.

Beautiful Ian. In particular the carving behind the cheek on the first rifle is just magical!
Nice to see you posting here.
