I'm blown away by your work. How did you learn to do this?
Just beautiful.

thank you I'm blown away by your work. How did you learn to do this?
Just beautiful. well im pretty much self taught . At one time I did a lot of chase engraving . But time and other work took its toll on my hands . I got to the point I could not hold a chase graver . So I stopped engraving The 4 years ago I was lucky enough to win a Lindsey Classic in a contest Steve Lindsey was having . Its taken me a while to get my skills back . They still are not there yet . Only about 80%. But the nice thing is im now able to progress in my skills and im once again enjoying the work

Very nice indeed! Enough engraving to show your talents, but still tasteful. Looks like an auction gun at an ILA banquet.
Love to see your work from four years ago.
