Custom Carved Savage Model 99

Custom carved Savage Arms Model 99 is my next project. As I’m sure every gun collector knows, this gun was discontinued years ago. It is a very nice gun to shoot. Very accurate and dependable. I have been asked to carve a moose with the Hibiscus flower on this gun. This is a Christmas present for one of my clients wife. She has no idea she is receiving this gun. Many men would never think of giving a gun to his wife. Unless you are like this family. All are avid hunters and enjoy getting out and being in the outdoors. This gun will have a beautiful moose scene carved on the gun stock. It will be outlined with the Hibiscus flower. The forend and grip will have the basket weave along with something else to enhance the design. You will have to check back to see what gun stock art has been put on the grip and forend. The custom carving is all hand finished along with the hand painting that accentuates the detail of the carving. Gun collectors world wide will be envious of this gun. I’m sure it will be handed down from generation to generation. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to leave them below. Happy Halloween! Deb

Custom Carved – Have We Lost Our Heritage?

Have we lost our heritage? How many people have given this any thought? I for one have. While custom carving this coach gun shot gun, I began wondering this very thing. With out Wells Fargo Bank to carry on the tradition of using the stagecoachs for their advertising. We would have lost this beautiful image years ago. The old west is fast becoming lost to our modern ways of life.

The picture above is a very rough carving of the pattern to be put on the coach gun.

This is yet another reason I decided to carve the abandoned stage coach on the ICA coach gun. Not only will this custom carved coach gun preserve the memories and the history of the old west. It also adds trememdous value to any gun collector’s personal collection. This gun will be hand carved and hand painted. There will not be enough room for the basket weave pattern to be put on this gun. Is this something that you are looking for on your gun? If so please drop me a line or call me to discuss your options and what you would like on your gun.

Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to leave them below.

Custom Carved Stage Coach Gun

I’ve started another gun stock. This gun is a custom carved stage coach gun shotgun. The last coach gun I carved was such a great success, I decided to carve another one. This gun will be carved/engraved with an abandoned stage coach. It is to symbolize how we are loosing our western heritage. I would like to be able to save our history in some way. This is my attempt at saving and sharing some of this history.

Here is a little information about this gun.

The gun stock will be custom carved and hand painted. This gun will not have a basket weave.  The forend of this gun is to narrow to support the pattern. This gun will make a great addition to the Wells Fargo Stagecoach collection. I look forward to showing you the finished project. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Feel free to respond to this post below.

Custom Carved Greener Replica Coach Gun

(Picture found on the web. This is not the actual gun I will be carving.)

I have found my next project. After many people have asked to see the W. W. Greener shot gunor coach gun I carved last year. I decided I would custom carve  another Greener replica shot gun. This gun will have an old abandoned stagecoach on the gun stock. I will be hand painting the scene as well. As to the forend and grip of this gun. I have not determined if I will add a custom carved design to these areas. Time will tell… This gun will make a fantastic addition for any gun collector. Not to mention it will preserve our history.

If you are interested in learning more about the W. W. Greener guns. You can read what I have written in an earlier blog post http://deblindsaystudios.com/carved-greener-shotgun/ .  Normally, I find a lot of my information on the gun manufacturers web site. I also use the www.wikipedia.com web site. Here is discussion board I recently found. You can post your comments and other people can respond to you. This particular discussion board is on the W. W. Greener Shotgun.

I don’t know how many other people enjoy learning about the history of guns, but I find it very fascinating. Guns have helped us throughout history. History has proven guns are a large part of our past. Have you ever wondered where we would be without them?

Pictures will be posted as I complete this project. Thanks for checking back and for your comments. Happy carving! Deb

Custom Carved Browning 270 (Update)

The cusotm carved Browning 270 I posted last week is finished. I decided not to put the basket weave on the forend or the grip of this gun. After carving the the bighorn sheep on the gun stock of this gun, I determined it would have detracted from the beauty of the gun. So, I decided to leave the rest of this gun untouched. I have added the custom hand painted artwork to this gun to enhance the carving.

This gun is brand new, never fired. I have the original box with paperwork. Gun collectors will find this gun have increased in value over and above the original price of the gun. This gun and many others will be on display and for sale next coming weekend at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show in Salt Lake City, Ut. I will be a the South Town Expo Center September 25 & 26, 2010.

Thank you for commenting below. Your response to the last blog I posted was GREAT! Thanks you and please stay in touch! Happy Carving. Deb

Custom Carved Browning 270

My next project in a very long line of enjoyable artwork is a custom carved Browing 270rifle. I have decided to carve a bighorn sheep on this gun. There will not be any background around the bighorn sheep. I have not decided (as yet) whether to carve basket weave or something on the forend of this gun or not. You will have to check back later to see what my decision ended up being. Here is interesting information about the Browning Rifle Company. This gun will be for sale at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show in Salt Lake City, UT. The gun show will be held September 25 & 26, 2010 at the South Town Expo Center.

John Moses Browning

(January 21 or January 23, 1855 – November 26, 1926), born in Ogden, Utah, was an American firearms designer who developed many varieties of firearms, cartridges, and gun mechanisms, many of which are still in use around the world. He is arguably the most important figure in the development of modern automatic and semi-automatic firearms and is credited with 128 gun patents. His first was granted October 7, 1879. He had made his first firearm at age 13 in his father’s gun shop.

Browning influenced nearly all categories of firearms design. He invented or made significant improvements to single-shot rifles, lever-action rifles, and slide-actionfirearms. His most significant contributions were in the area of autoloading firearms. He developed the first reliable and compact autoloading pistols by inventing the telescoping bolt, integrating the bolt and barrel shroud into what is known as the slide. Browning’s telescoping bolt design is now found on nearly every modern semi-automatic pistol, as well as several modern fully automatic weapons.

He also developed the first gas-operated machine gun, the Colt-Browning Model 1895—a system that surpassed mechanical recoil operationto become the standard for most high-power self-loading firearm designs worldwide.

Browning’s most successful designs include the M1911 pistol, the Browning .50 caliber machine gun, the Browning Automatic Rifle, and a ground-breaking semi-automatic shotgun, the Browning Auto-5. These arms are nearly identical today to those assembled by Browning in the 1920s, with only minor changes in detail and cosmetics. Nearly all parts may be freely swapped between the earliest and latest of each series of these weapons, no matter when made, which has extended their service life span nearly indefinitely.
