Drop Hunter in S35VN and Yellow dyed Buckeye Burl

[HallHandmade]

This is another gunstock hunter in yellow buckeye, this time with no swedge. It has a bit larger blade, and a bit more belly/height to the blade, and is 3/4 flat ground. I went with satin polish on the flats and an as ground finish on the bevels for contrast. I really like the look. I did a slightly more swept design on the handle and really like how it turned out.

Beautiful! I think I like this Hunter design the best. Just seems to flow better.

UGHHH! I'll take it.

Haha I was hoping I'd make a catch with this one. It's a bit frustrating when you're using your best bait and nothing bites.

Martin,

The other one I posted has a bit more "tough" look to it, I'd call this one more streamlined.

Man...that is pretty much a perfect hunter IMHO!

Nice piece! Any more coming down the pike?

Lol, your lack of will power is understandable.

Tell my wife! Um, don't tell my wife!

Thanks everyone, I really like how this one turned out. It's hard to decide which one I like better between this one and the other I just posted. They each have their own distinct personality even though I made them basically side by side.

This one is spectacular!

 

[JackHammer]

That's a beauty!

Oh, Wow! Worth so much more than your asking price!

Great work, and what an outstanding piece of burl!
