The Safari Club Show started on Wednesday the 24th. This would have been a terrific experience for any engraver.
To start out, the old time rifles showed some neat turn of the century engraving. The prices also showed some big increases in these guns.
Lisa Tomlin was at the Rigby booth with much of her wonderful engravings displayed on their rifles.
Lee Griffith was hypnotized at the Peter Hofer booth while studying the unbelievable engraving on Peters guns. You must get Lee to describe this mans engraving ( I don't know the right words).
By Friday when the FEGA show opened my head was spinning from seeing such a fantastic display of artisic talent at the Safari Club show.
I also took about 150 photos of the animal taxidermy work.
Then the FEGA Show opened. WOW
I had an oxygen machine delivered to my room at the Silver Legacy. There is something mistical about being in the company of so many world class engravers. Friday, Saturday and Sunday did not have enough hours to fully intake all of this beauty.
Andrew Biggs gave a fantastic seminar. What a find he is for the engraving community and our forum here.
John B. was answering one million questions and helping everyone.
Marty Rabeno had his table displayed and there were so many people around it you could not get near it.
I've run out of time, but I'll continue later in the day. (must gather my thoughts)
