The blog, Contemporary Makers, is full of gorgeous stuff. I'm particularly taken with the blend of traditional and modern carving styles on this stock.

4This is where I bought my "kit". They also sell rifles and fowlers on consignment. They are mostly hobbiests and gunsmiths just starting out because they take 20% for a fee.Looking through the kits they offer you can get an idea of the work involved, its quite extensive. Mine shots great, I love shooting it but I don't like looking at it . http://www.trackofthewolf.com/CDFingers wrote:Yes: lovely.

6I particularly like the way the butt plate is carried over to the rear of the patch box lid. I didn't realize until I saw this that the discontinuity of the traditional arrangement looks unfinished to me because of the little missing piece of metal at the rear.

7I could never physically shoot one of these beauties, but I surely can appreciate the craftsmanship!

11The problem is, some guns are way too pretty to hide away in a safe.
Now, one of those would look great mounted over the big stone fireplace in my man cave!
Oh, wait...

17That is pretty. I'd like to purchase a traditional cap lock .50 rifle when I get enough money.
Maybe even a flint lock. Don't know too much about them yet.
