MAN O MAN Kurt ! You DEFINETLy been holdin out !!!! I am so tired i can hardly keep my eyes open , But these pics sure got my attention. I see some stunning scroll work, inlays, bulino. Just about everything. Some of these designs are amazing. Truly elegant, beautiful to look at and very interesting. All are excellent, but 3/4 of them are awe inspiring. I just kept saying WOW ! with each new photo. If my tired brain recalls, your mostly into selling air guns now ? Always on the road and not doing much at all engraving ? If so, that makes me sad to think this talent is set aside. One must do what one must. I will be studying these pics for a long time. Thank you SO much for the opportunity to see this fine art of yours. rick w

Hi Rick,

Thanks. I just added a few more photos. Sorry you've confused me with my good friend Scott Pilkington. Scott’s the King of precision guns and he manufactures the best target pellets in the U.S. We live just down the road a piece from each other.

Kurt

Hey Kurt ! I'm still looking at all these photo's ! Yes , your right.. I did confuse... I am Sooo tired. But i cant stop looking at your work. I now need to learn all i can about you and your work. I have lots of questions. But i am about to crash for the nite. Where are you located ? Website? Do you teach classes ? Would like to keep in contact via email and/or phone at times. Too tired to analyze , but Your scrollwork is really talking to me. Not to mention the gold inlay, That dog, the scroll leaves inlaid gold in a dark gun.. bulino on the reciever under the scope... man ! Later, man over an out. rickw

Lovely and inspirational work.

Odin and his ravens made me smile. Not sure why that one out of all that beauty struck such a nerve but it did.

Great Stuff!
The factory Perazzi fantasy theme you did on the Krieghoff looks cool. I imagine it's a nicer canvas then a Perazzi to work on.
