I really like the way you did that elephant. You'd swear in court that thing was coming out the side of that gun charging after you. Killer William Henry's too!

Thanks for the kind words folks!
Gary & Carlos: the dark areas in or on the oak leaves are achieved by shading lines. I ink my work & the ink stays in the textured areas adding to the illusion of depth.
Sorry for the delay... My computer decided to take a vacation & doing this with an iPhone ain't my idea of fun!
Here's an iPhone pic of another oak leaf Model 21

Thanks, Paulie!
Deep relief sculpting is a chore on (most of) the firearms we work on here in the USA. The hardness of the material certainly affects the time required to complete a job!
Sometimes it's not so bad.... Right now Working on a Winchester High wall (The FEGA auction gun) that's really nice to cut & sculpt!
