This was done by a soldier in the field.

I know a guy that had one with the warbird "carved in relief" on it.
He sold it for $125.

Idiot

[TheOldLady]

Idiot, indeed.

That’s a *start*, but won’t even cover one of my Class III AR-10s. I priced my FFL appraisals out 3yrs ago w/ NRA, and it was almost same as my ho’s ins policy estimate of $1400/mo.

I get so many fund-raising calls from them, from Sept 1 - Nov 7, it drives me nuts. I didn’t renew my membership last year because of all the evening calls. I have them on *ignore* on cell and landline units. There’s an “activation box” on the membership app, which must be checked, for each benefit, IIRC.

[mylife]

Indeed.

Was at a class 3 FAL shoot yesterday.
Yeehaw!

[Carriage Hill]

She does beautiful work.

[mylife]

It was very well carved.
I told him he has an excellent example of war art.
He didn’t get it.

[mylife]

She really does.

[Carriage Hill]

Woodcarving and engraving is a whole ‘nother world of art. If you sneeze and slip, that’s going to leave a noticeable mark.

[Carriage Hill]

I’m going back for another appraisal at NRA.

I talked to the folks at Cole Custom about using CNC machining to do this work in wood.
They said they tried it but they went back to doing all work by hand.

Wood is pretty forgiving.

[Carriage Hill]

So are mine; a massive 2½-ton, dbl-door unit. I think you saw the pic I posted of the 10yr old Cannon, a few weeks ago. It ain't going anywhere, with the security/fire systems I have here.

Laser engraver. We have one at the shop, it can engrave all kinds of stuff.

[Carriage Hill]

Flu fever and headaches are coming back; time for aspirin and sleep. 4½ days with this crap. Have a good week, all!

[mylife]

Sure, but it just is not the same.
I looked at purchasing a duplicarver for the wood.
It does the rough work and you do the detail.

Cole said they tried it all and went back to doing it by hand.

[mylife]

Obama can fix what ails ya!
Sorry to hear you’re feeling poorly.

[mylife]

I wish I had all those tools.

[davetex]

Yeah, me too, and the skills to use them.
