Bill, I have been looking but the most interesting pattern Ive seen is the one on Silvers gun I think I will do something along those linesmaybe vary the side panels a bit

Tut Ive seen that gun before I was hoping mine would turn out slightly betterI think the tool was a bit dull when they checkered that one
The blank was one of those that worked out in reverse, it was not as fancy as a slab but the streaks got more elaborate as I whittled it down, cant complain about that, a bit of red colour will tone down the contrast somewhat and make it more age appropriate

What about a nice silver scutcheon/oval??


The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........
