Custom 1851 Navy and Kentucky Pistol

[bpbuilder]

A bit of a different look, but not abandoning the western style. The stock and grip on each pistol was etched with a woodburner, before being blackened with a butane torch. I filled in the burnt wood and gave it a high gloss finish with multiple coats of poly. The single shot Kentucky was custom blued to a dark steel grey, but not completely blackened.

Freehand with the woodburner?

I like things that are just a bit different. These are pretty neat.

I went over with a pencil first to make sure they were even on each side. The parts that didn't have to match I did freehand.

To each his own. If you like them, that's all that matters.

Yep. Cool. The cool thing to me is that it’s your work and not like dozens of others. I added a couple little personal touches to my Kentucky pistol also to make it unique. We a could tell yours and mine apart from each other and a dozen others from across a tater patch.
