A Little Engraving

[Smith]

I'm not huge into engraving, mainly because I don't have any heirloom quality firearms, but seeing how my dad is getting back into his engraving hobby I thought I'd let him do some work on my Rossi 92 .38/.357. My dad has always been a craftsman and has done custom and commissioned pieces (mainly knives) in the past. After getting out of it for quite a few years I gotta say I'm impressed that he could pick it right back up. Pictures don't capture the finer details and make it look kinda flat, but let me just say it is VERY nice work.

 

Enjoy.

Wow, that is gorgeous! Beautiful detail without being over the top.

 

Has he ever done any 1911 work?

[Smith]

He hasn't yet, but he has a couple slides he's about to start on.

Your dad does beautiful work. Definitely turned that gun into a family heirloom.

[Caster]

Dolomite beat me to it.  If it wasn't an heirloom before, it is NOW!

 

Incredible.  If I were to try that it'd look like a epileptic monkey did it with a cold chisel. 

 

I love it.

[peejman]

I've always been very impressed by anyone who can do that.  The precision they achieve by hand is really amazing.

[piper266]

I agree! If it wasn't heirloom material before, it is now! Beautiful work.

[Oh Shoot]

Wowzer! Kudos to his skill.

[rugerla1]

That is beautiful!

[BigK]

Very impressive work. I can't believe how clean those lines are and they stay clean all the way thru every curve. I can't even tell if he ever picked up a tool and moved it.

 

I've got some old shotties I'd love to have something like that done to.

[Randall53]

you sure can't tell his took a break. that is some beautiful work!

[mikegideon]

Great!

[hipower]

I'll echo everything already said. That is some excellent work.

 

I'm not generally a fan of engraving; as most of it seems way too overdone for me. But this is simply beautiful work that I'd be proud to have on one of my guns.

Very Nice ! Your Dad does great work. I might need him to do some thing for me. :drool:

[gregintenn]

Looks nice! I may have a project or two for him if he is ever looking for work.

[East_TN_Patriot]

Like gregintenn said, if he decides to do work and I can afford his price, I have a Seecamp he can work on for me.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Great looking work!

[Trekbike]

Excellent work for sure!  Do you have any pictures of some of his other work?  

[maroonandwhite]

Just awesome.

[Jonnin]

He hasn't yet, but he has a couple slides he's about to start on.

 

I have one he can practice on...!

[Fourtyfive]

That is pure TALENT.

[Smith]

Excellent work for sure!  Do you have any pictures of some of his other work?  

I'll try to get some more.

[gregintenn]

I'd like to see more as well.

[Shug]

That is impressive work. Please keep us posted on his 1911 slide work

Here's a couple pictures of pictures taken from my phone. Not the best but gives you an idea.
