In '04 Jerry Fisher provided this bottom metal and I engraved it and we donated it to the Reno show auction. I had forgotten about it until the completed rifle arrived for additional scroll work. I guess what goes around comes around after all.

I am a big fan of your work Sam. It is so pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Mr. Sam,
Will you share the rest of the gun? As it is being done?

I hope I hope. :thumbsup:

Thanks Bronc. Sandy, I will see what I can do...meanwhile here is a closer look at the elk.

Very artistic devise! :clapping:
It was a pleasure to see this work.

Hey Sam

That looks like classic Sam Welch engraving to me!!!!! Wonderful!!!!

Good engraving on good guns is like a fine cheese.....................it takes time to mature

Cheers
Andrew

Thanks guys! Andrew, I do love cheese...much to the dislike of my doc. Evgeni, I have been meaning to add my compliments on your beautiful stock work. My meager carvings many years ago are what led to my involvement with engraving. Best to you all. S

Great Elk Sam :thumbsup:

SamW · Jun 7, 2011

Hey, thanks Marty. What wonders are you working on lately?

FANCYGUN · Jun 8, 2011

Hi Sam
Hi Sam
Haven't had much time for wonders with everything going on around here. I just got back from the east coast where my youngest son Eric just got married. Also trying to take care of FEGA business which is a challenge as you well know. Hopefully will have some time now that spring is here to do some ATV riding in the mountais and your neck of the woods.
But I do have a very interesting project to start next week which will be a lot of fun. It is a two barreled Sharps rifle that is completely hand machined using many of the Freund Brothers patents. I plan on having it to show out in Reno this coming January along with the man who builds these.

SamW · Jun 8, 2011

I shall look forward to seeing that. And let me know when you will be in my "neck of the woods"

Outstanding Sam!!!!!! .... is this to be finished in electroless nickel?

Marty ... looking forward to your Sharps variation. Wish there was time to begin that '73 for Reno!!! Can't believe the year is half gone LOL!!

Sam, that is beautiful. I'm glad I could see your avatar and place a face with a familiar and well known name... I'm also admiring Christopher M's avatar seen above.

ED DELORGE · Jun 8, 2011

Hello Sam, Happy to see you are still doing beautiful work.

Thanks for the Post.

Ed, it has been quite a while since we have corresponded. Hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for the comment. What are you doing these days to sort of stay out of trouble? You ready for another hurricane season?

FANCYGUN · Jun 9, 2011

Sam
Here is a photo of the unfinished Sharps action. It has some intersting contours and I love the hammer. I have to engrave a moose/grizzly bear theme on it.

You coming to Durango with your car for the car show this summer?

Lee · Jun 9, 2011

Marty, I think Bullwinkle and Yogi would look terrific and you are just the man for the job. Great project. I will be a treat to see it at Reno.

SamW · Jun 9, 2011

That is a great canvas Marty. Don't let Lee talk you into something too difficult. Andy, glad you like the avatar. I will save the closeup until late October.

Now, Chris, I understand the "time flies" bit. My correction to Einstein's theory of relativity is that time itself is accellerating and offer as proof the fact that my son reached the age of 21 much faster than I did. Now that he is 46 I am working on the warp drive theory.

Lee · Jun 9, 2011

Sam, that's funny. The exception is when a person finds himself in a cast, then times slows down.
