Inspired by a master.

Short story long, the wife has a few craft interests, card making, quilting, knitting, dressmaking, sewing, in no particular order, recently she ask me to get her an old wood saw so she could decorate with what they call napkin art, using 3 ply fancy napkins they take the top layer and apply it to any surface with a special glue, you can even wallpaper with them if you're keen enough, , any way I got her an old saw from the recycling shop and she wanted me to do up the handle a bit, just sand it an varnish it, than I had a thought :thinking: and remembered Evgeni Dimov art noveux gun, now there is an inspiration, so I gave it a try and this is the result, now I have to make the plate as shown out of coper and will engrave that as well, long way from being perfect , but the boss is happy with it, :banana: I used the EN-SET, and micro motor,

Thank you all for the nice comments, it was just something I wanted to try,

Ray and Monk, you're right, the happier the boss is, the more tools I can buy ,
(yeah right, who am I kidding?) :no:

Willem, she is going to decorate the blade herself, I'll post photos when finished.

Cloudy, thank you, you should try it, is fun I'm sure you will do better than me,

Thanks fellas, is the closest thing to a gunstock that I can get my hands on here :biggrin:,
