For the Grand National Quail Club.
Although I have studied Marcus Hunt's book, I'm not very confident with English Fine Scroll.

Brian Is that an English Pointer?.....Nice job..

Bob

BrianPowley · Sep 30, 2016

Yes...It is an English Pointer.
Thanks for the kudos.

just very beautiful work, any hunter would be proud to own that gun,............I used to own a Win 101, Grand European model Skeet/Skeet, with the Gold and Silver inlay, I was told the gun was American Walnut stock, built in Japan and hand engraved in Italy...............go figure!

very nice. cool how tha state outline creates a frame for the birds. i'd love to see a closeup of the border, if you have time. tyvm for showing.

BrianPowley · Sep 30, 2016

Thanks everyone.
Monk.....which border are you referring to? The border that is "Oklahoma", the scroll work, or the one that separates the raised panel from the pivot pin area?

monk · Oct 1, 2016

brian: the border around the raised area.

very nice, Brian. I especially like the pointer. There are several ways to execute English Scroll, of which Marcus Hunt and his father Ken Hunt are masters. I learned the Purdey style from Simon Lytton, but I like them all

BrianPowley · Oct 1, 2016

Monk.....thanks for asking about that border. I looked at it an tweaked it a bit.

monk · Oct 3, 2016

thank you much, brian. your work looks good, even in giant size!. that will be a real looker when all is finished.

BrianPowley · Oct 5, 2016

Thanks Monk!

yes. it better be in your glossary by the end of october !

BrianPowley · Oct 16, 2016

Reblued, reassembled, all done.

77cj5 · Oct 17, 2016

Nice! I wish my 101 looked this beautiful!

BrianPowley · Oct 17, 2016

Roger....Instead of the "Tadpole" border, could you use the phrase "The Schnoid Periphery" ?
Just a thought....

Could you enlighten me on the phraseology, I don't understand?

BrianPowley · Oct 18, 2016

Sorry...."Schnoid" is one of my made up words that refers to your average guy doing "gopher" work (Go For...)
Roger and I trade barbs at each other with that term.
Periphery, of course, is a synonym for the word "border".
So...."Schnoid Periphery" would be a border done by your average guy.
