Bulino Relief Cape buffalo.
If I said how many hours have gone into this only a few would believe me. Its a custom floorplate I made for a BRNO in .375 that I did extensive metalwork on. Apart from the sky, all detail is in relief with a maximum depth of .022", in most places reducing to zero a couple of mm before the edge. All work is with hand tools to original artwork. The buff is an amalgum of the 20 or so pictures I gathered around me. Photography was a real challenge with the light upsetting the bulino effect in the relief.
