Lovely work, very graceful lines. This will make it into a great hunting rifle. When the hunting is slow going you will have something to look at and enjoy.

Every one has a favorite style. Some like early and some like latter styles. Some like southern, some like the English and some even like the percussion plains types. BUT every one likes to look at Quality work regardless of what style it is. THIS is such quality and it is enjoyable for all to view.  ;)

That is some really cool Pratt-School work there Ian.   I am intrigued by the description of weathering the stock.  I'll be interested to see how it all comes out.  God Bless,  Marc

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the comments. It will take a while to do the finish work, but I will definitely post some more photos when I have this one wrapped up.

Ian,

I am a long time admirer of your work.  With your permission I would like to replicate some of the carving you have shown on this rifle on one of my own to expand my carving experience and repertoire.  Do you have any additional pictures of the carving you are doing on this rifle ?

Thanks

David
