Bob,
I am a bit surprized that you didn't chose a blunderbust ...
Is the lock assy carved , it looks almost as a real lock. Very well done!

My photo doesn't show the color wood difference , but I bet that is wonderful.

Great work!

Garry

Ash....the lock frizzen, spring and seat are all carved individually and pinned and epoxied in place. The Ebony really gives that illusion of hand forged metal, doesn't it!? Looks like you could cock it, prime the pan and let fly!

Hey Bob, nice work, looks alot like mine I posted last month. Be careful with the ebony, I originally had carved my hammers out of black walnut, it slipped and fell, breaking them. I eventually went to brass. Good job though!

heheheheheheh, I'll get you for that Dave. But I laugh till I had to go to the bathroom. That ain't nice to cause an old Gezzer to wet himself, ya know!
Specially after drinking so much Tea.

Wait a minute, maybe that was payback!!!!

Dang, Payback ore Heck sometimes!!!

Nice work Bob I will also reiterate that your attention to detail is what gives your carvings that "classy" look. I still dont believe how tidy you keep your workshop my dining room table isnt that tidy.
