Thanks again everyone.  Turning guns into art makes the whole experience more meaningful for me.  Just for grins, here's what this little 5.7lb 16ga hammer gun looked like before I did all the work to it:



I'm working on this 12ga damascus hammer gun right now to pair with it:

what kind of theme is this new hammer gun going to have?

It's an idea I've wanted to do for 7 or 8 yrs.    The right side of the stock will have a cropped half lion face staring at you, and to its right will be a fleur de lis opening its wings and morphing into a bird in three stages, and some vines/leaves to mimic the receiver metal engraving.   The left side will have the same half lion face, and vines/leaves,  except with his mouth open showing his teeth, and a naked woman lying down in the cheek rest area.  It's a yin/yang concept, showing our spiritual and primal sides and our duality as men.  The right side is titled "Fleur de Lion," the left side is "Primal."

if anyone asks you about the barrel constriction on that gun; you can always say your choked primal for up close and personal shots and spiritual for those poke and hope shots... :chuckle:

I can't wait to see that concept wrapped around that gorgeous hammer gun.

Very, very cool. Makes a person stop and think how important family is and what really important. Thank you for sharing.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

In the vein of "art with a nice gun attached to it", I finished the Belgian 12 hammer gun.  As mentioned previously, this piece of art is titled "Duality."
