Albrecht inspired build progress and pics

[Hatchet-Jack]

Good morning folks! I haven't posted my progress in quite a while. This is my first build from a blank under the guidance of Jeff Talbert. Jeff helped me finish a Chambers Fowler as well. It's based on the Albrecht that some call the "Two Tailed Dog". The carving will be a mixture from that gun along with a more classic "C" scroll behind the cheek piece based on one of his other guns. I just finished inletting the star I made from sheet brass. I'm pleased with how it came out. I hope you enjoy a few pics of it so far.

Thanks Rich! Yes Jeff is a great teacher. I have certainly learned a lot studying under him.

Super!  ( I don't think Albrecht made the original....a young Oerter is my bet)

Looking good for sure, and I will second Jeff as a good teacher.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. Mike what tells you it might be Oerter who built the original? The wire inlay?

Oerter had a very active imagination. Albrecht had a very traditional training and I belive stuck to traditional euro style decoration. These animals were way out of his wheelhouse.
