CUSTOM .22 Cal Golden Boy

Here is a little history of behind this custom .22 cal golden boy gun I have carved.

In the area where I live. The ranchers still use brands to identify their cattle. It seems like they will brand almost everything they own. There are homes that have walls dedicated to the brands handed down through the years from generation to generation. The brand will be changed slightly from the original design to indicate the  current owner of the ranch.

 This gun is no different. The owners daughter brought the gun to me and asked if I could create a design using this farmers particular brand. I have used the high speed Paragrave tool to sculpt and carve this design. The carved basket weave, on the forend of the gun, wraps around to the other side making it possible to grip the gun better. This gun will be given back tothe owner as a Christmas present from his daughters.
