Fish scale is well laid out and cut also. All a bit heavy for my taste but I have to admit I like it!

 

[Jared Eason]

Thanks. This was my first time carving oak leaves .and the 3rd doing fish scales. I did notice I have a tendency to cut the scales to deep. ... haha. Trust me I'm my own worst critic on everything I do. I can see every little flaw . I just always hope no one else sees them too . lol

Where did you learn the fish scales was it from Bill Janney or his book?

I have bills book.. but Joe Cummings DVD is so much better I think. I like the small scales , just look better to me.

 

[SamW]

Jared, as long as you can see your mistakes you will continue to improve and you do have an excellent start!

it looks nice to me. i had the book. created my own scale pattern in corel draw. that way it's very easy to size them exactly as you want them. did 1 stock that way. i swore i'd never do another. the pattern drove me nuts carving it.

Its very very time consuming ....... steady hand too.. but done right . The outcome is worth the headache.. thanks guys.... its for sale....lol

Hello Jarred,
I congratulate you for the completed work

As said SamW:

... you do have an excellent start!...

I would recommend to pay attention on the frames of design . More exactly- how their form fits into the general form of the gun

I wish you success

 

[Jared Eason]

Thank you dimov . I love your work. Its so artistic, and very nice to look at.

I really like carved stocks. I hate checkering. Its seams like they will have real nice figure english walnut then checker over the best figure in the wood. Might as well use cheap maple or plain old walnut.
