I previously posted pics of a sideplate gun we are making. Picking the right wood and coordinating logistics has progressed to the point where I have some more pics. The customer is a longtime friend and true gentleman and I predict he will like the outcome.

Attentive readers will notice the Fabbri style forend release and thin band of gold on the release rod. We may blue the release rod to provide more contrast.

The wood is rough at this point for the customer to provide feedback on grip position, size and comfort. The beautiful Turkish burl will undergo some special processing to impregnate the wood for extra strength.

The iphone pics do not do this gun justice!

Enjoy!

How do you correct the wood in picture # 5 ? It is BEAUTIFUL overall . Although it shoots from the wrong side !

Might I suggest you make a fake bottom plate and engrave it tristar just to watch people loose their minds. Lol

Just the suggestion of TriStar ( BiStar ) makes you a Maccrazy.

So is it safe to assume this isn’t a Lamby Especial?



Seriously, that is a beautiful work of art.

Wow ! Whats not to like? I bet he will be thrilled!

 

[ScottinTexas]

what would the engraving on a Lamby special look like?? scratch that, I don't want to even know!

otherwise, I LOVE the engravings, sometimes I think the scrollwork goes over the top but these with the dogs and birds are fantastic, especially the underside,

Stunning work! Nicely done.

What would that special processing be? Lester

To impregnate wood? Maybe rape oil!

Just kidding. But rapeseed oil is a non drying wood finish used on cutting boards etc. and in other non critical areas where decorative and protective finishes don’t need to be hard. The oil just keeps on penetrating the wood.

So if someone wanted you to replicate something like this, how much could he or she expect to pay?

Rape seed oil - Canola oil, no?

Same stuff.

It has a lot of uses. If you look at the ingredients in a spray can of PAM cooking spray it is also Canola. But the state of education being what it is the manufacturer didn’t dare say it was Rape oil.

That's shaping up to be a work of art, Don!
