[ghpayton]

My first attempts on gun engraving since my first class at GRS 04/2016. Awsume company and instructors.Constructive criticism welcomed.

This does not look like a beginner...........Very nice indeed, I really like the layout smooth and very appealing to the eye.......This may be your first gun but me thinks you have been engraving for a while.....

I Wish I would have discovered engraving years ago.

Thank you Bob. I suppose we are only limited by our imagination.

You and me both brother.... I just turned 50 and have been at it about a month now. Totally obsessed.

Your cutting looks very clean. The composition needs a bit of work, but no doubt that will develop in time. I think you're doing really well. Are you going to shade the lever action?

I bought the gun for my daughter a few years ago. I got the cover in class but waited awhile to attempt it. She said she likes it without shading , but I need the practice so I probably will opt to add some shading cause it is such a simple design and to me looks unfinished. Shading is something I am not real confident in . Knowing what and how much I hope will come with study and practice. I plan to take more classes in the future.
Thank you Sam for looking.

nice work as far as you have done. i'll bet she would like it better with some level of shading.

I can't believe this is your first attempt after the GRS class. I like the depth you achieved. For me, i try to keep the direction of the scrolls constant instead of one group of scrolls colliding with another group of scrolls. If that makes sense.
