Here's a recently completed project on a Colt Commander. For this piece I'm reprising a similar commission I did 9 or 10 years ago. Changed it up a little this time & added some sculptural elements to offset the abundant scrollwork. 100% coverage isn't for everyone but….for those who like it…well, here ya go!!
On this piece I've used several styles of scrollwork: the majority being American with liner cut shading & dot punch background; my version of English scroll with single point shading and, a small amount of American scroll with single point shading.
The sculpted elements are various floral shapes & make a nice contrast/compliment to all the scroll. Additionally, there are a number of border treatments here and a whole lot of straight & curved lines to cut….!!
The Colt is finished in antique nickel plating & is wearing a set of American Black Walnut grips.
Thanks & hope you enjoy,
Weldon
