Considering the wood it's on and the guns the wood is on, I'd assume that she has to be a master and in demand. Somehow, the fotos don't do it justice (I hope!). Maybe the incidence of the lighting is normal to the surface or the mineral streaks visible thru the clean, transparent finish compete with the panels for attention. The border on the fleur de lis'd boxlock cheek has hardness in the curves (running with the grain?) and looks like something I might actually be able to do on the best day I'll ever have (and that's no compliment). Also JMHO.
