410 shot gun

[tnartist05]

This old 410 shot gun,I carved the walnut pistol grip on the stock and engraved the block with a running horse.
This gun plus others Id posted today was my 1st attemp at engraving with poorly crude tools years ago.But I hope to improve with better engraving tools in the future. I free hand my work and hope also in the future to make me some patterns which also will improve my engraving.

Your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. Thks Tn~

Hi tn,

I liked the 16 gage. Scruffie liked your beagle. Your work shows you have the knowhow, the tutorials and advice available on this site will help you refine it.

i'm not being picky here friend, but it's difficult to really see what you have here. overall this really looks quite nice for your first time at bat. could you possibly get some time to take a couple pics with better focus for us to look at ? your work really looks interesting ! thanks for posting.

Out-of-focus photos won't get you many replies, Tn. Can you shoot 'em again for us? We'd like to see your work. / ~Sam
