That it would have been firewood

Well done !!

[SciFiJim]

That's great! Like Curly James said, Must be nice to have talent.

[DLCTEX]

Nice color to that wood. What is it? Nice work also.

[45nut]

I know it was some species of leverite, that's about all.

Just something that sat way too long in the project pile.

[theperfessor]

Nice work Ken!

[AZ-Stew]

I printed out the drawings, laid them out and traced them with an electric pencil engraver, then went back through with the mighty dremel.

Nothing too difficult, wasn't freehand this time. [smilie=1:

[dromia]

Very nice Ken, however my critical judgment suggests that the addition of a rifle, especially a Lee Enfield, would have completed the work. [smilie=1: :-D

[45nut]

[smilie=1: I dang near had a heart attack deciding on whether it should have mirrored 1911's, revolvers or a pair of rifles. I went with the 1911 and the revolver ,, this time.

[Jim]

Dang, Ken! That's pretty durn good work there, Bud!

[blackthorn]

Very nice! What will you do with it?

[xr650]

Looks good Ken.

I would have bet it had a hole in it by the title.

[leadeye]

Nice job Ken, interesting looking piece of wood too.:-D

[357maximum]

Pretty shnazzy...nice work...that would look really good over a nice casting bench.

[Thumbcocker]

:kidding:One question Ken. What type of firearm appears on the left side of the carving? did you slip and not draw the cylinder on it? [smilie=1::kidding:

[armyrat1970]

Pretty shnazzy...nice work...that would look really good over a nice casting bench.

Hell that would look good hanging over my front door. Great job 45nut. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.:drinks:

[45nut]

Ok, after a couple days it was obvious the fading was rapid and would leave me with nothing but faint outlines,, sooooooooooo..............

It hangs on the wall up behind my patio table now.

[legend]

nice work ken.

i could have had the same wood,same tools,and when i got done people would say"flunked second grade art huh?'

[woody1]

Nice piece of blued pine, prob'ly Ponderosa pine. Looks like it was milled from a snag. Nice work Ken. Regards, Woody

[Jim_Fleming]

:kidding: I'll guess that the firearm on the left side is a new fangled automajikally operated sliding fore and aft rectangmbler ceelineder! :kidding:

Y'all don't mind this here, West (By God!) Virginia hillbilly! I cain't speek and spllel The Kaing's Anglish sumtahmes...

But seriously I did get a heckuva chuckle when Thumbcocker asked about the missing cylinder...

[uncle joe]

great work Ken. But if you put a 1911 on it you really should put a Garand also,
HEHE

[Jim_Fleming]

After all... They both made their 'bones' TOGETHER during WWII...

Heh Heh!

all kidding aside, the woodworking/carving does look great now that you've stained it.




great work Ken. But if you put a 1911 on it you really should put a Garand also,

Nahh,, it would have to be a M 1917 ;-)
