Custom Carved Henry 17 HMR

This custom carved Henry Repeating Arms.17 HMR was a Christmas present for my father. When I began carving/sculpting guns, my dad showed a lot of interest in my abilities. He would take my business cards around to everyone he knew to brag on me. It seemed quite silly to me at the time. That he would do this for me. Then last Thanksgiving, my mother asked me what I thought he would like for Christmas? See, my father owns a few guns but no longer hunts, due to his health. I know he always enjoyed going and he has always owned some guns. My mother on the other hand, hates guns. She knows how to shoot and can out shoot many men. Still, she doesn’t like them at all. So, when I mentioned to her she should buy dad a new gun. You can imagine what the response was. Then dad told her how much he would like to have a gun like Allen’s, (my husband) Henry .17 HMR. Well, mom called me and asked if I could get her a gun for dad. WOW! what a surprise that was. When we gave the gun to dad he was very happy. Then I told him I would be custom carving a design on the gun for him. Dad had tears in his eyes. I knew then I had picked the right present for father.

After Christmas, Dad picked out the picture he wanted on the gun stock. Then the designing began! After hours of drawing, cutting, and erasing I finally found a pattern that would compliment the gun. I then molded the design into clay. Also, changing more of the pattern to fit the gun. Then I started carving the design onto sample pieces of wood. This process also required more changes. Finally the pattern was ready for the gun stock. When I started carving the gun stock, the pattern just seemed to appear. It wasn’t difficult by any means. It was like this pattern was just meant to be on this gun stock.

After finishing the carving, I began playing with colors. The more I played the more fun it became to see the picture emerge and take shape. But the best part of this entire project was when I placed the gun back in my father’s hands and watched him look at the gun for the first time. You could see how proud he was to own a gun as beautiful as this one. See, Dad is a welder by trade but he is a carpenter at heart. So for me to custom carved a gun for him was a real thrill. For him, having the gun stock custom carved is one thing, but to have it  custom carved by his daughter was a totally different matter. I truly do not remember being more proud of what I do then at that moment. Thanks Dad for allowing me to custom carve this gun stock for you!

The gun has been custom carved/sculpted, and hand painted. Gun collectors alike would enjoy having this gun in their collection. This gun will be handed down from generation to generation of this I am sure. Not to mention the bragging rights of owing a custom carved gun stock by Deb Lindsay. This gun will be on display at the up coming Western Art Rodeo Association first ever art show on April 29, 30, 2011 at the Sundance Resort. I do hope everyone that can attend will do so. While you are there, please look me up. I would really enjoy meeting you. We can talk about designing a custom carved/sculpted gun stock for you.

Custom Carved Henry Big Boy .45LC

The third carving for December 2011 is a custom carved Henry Big Boy .45LC. This gun was commissioned by the “GS Electric” companies employees. They wanted to give a custom carved gun with the companies logo to their boss Gary Sorensen.

The “G & S” and the lightening bolt is a white composite ivory inlayed, along with the yellow which is also composite ivory inlay. I carved the white first, making it stand up higher then the rest of the gun. Then I carved the yellow flush with the gun stock. Yes, it was a challenge to not hit the white while carving the yellow.

The Gary’s signature was added and inlayed to match his company name. The date his business was opened was also included under the logo. The employees who purchased this for Gary had me add their initials to the grip of the gun. Something to remember them by.

After completing the carving and inlay. The gun did not look complete, (see the above picture). The word “Electric” did not stand out like it should. You see, at first I did not paint the letters of “Electric”. Originally the employees wanted the word “Electric” to be black along with the date the company was established and their initials. After the gun was finished, you could not see the full name of the company. So, I hand painted the letters of the word “Electric” white but made sure the paint went down deep in the gun. I did not inlay this part of the gun. I think it gives the gun the depth needed to complete the scene. The first picture at the top of this page will show you the final results.

I’m sure this gun will be hung on the wall of their business for years to come. It is a very unique one of a kind addition to any gun enthusis’ collection. Merry Christmas Gary! I hope you enjoy your gun. Deb
