Inlays installed:

The inlays on the forearm were installed.  Then the wrist was rounded more by dividing the wrist into the 7ths.  Then the fish were inlayed into either side of the wrist. 

The hunter's star was inlet into the cheek. A line was drawn around the perimeter of the star per the request of my granddaughter. She saw this on page 170 of Whisker's book of Virginia Gunsmiths.  Next I used my wire inlay chisels to trace out the outlines. The wire was shaped and cut and cut to length. A wooden dowel was then used to gently tap the wire inlay into the stock. 

As you can see, it turned out well. 

Then I did a little carving up on the forearm on either side of the rear thimbles. This added a little character to the rifle. 

A Silver horned owl was inletted into the stock and then engraved.  I'll  try to get a closer shot of it later. 

Other parts of the rifle furniture was engraved too, along with the fish and birds on the stock . The trigger plate was a feather. 

Since the  gun was started in late 2006, I selected to use that year as the birth of the rifle. 

Today I engraved the barrel, cheekpiece, and started staining the stock.  

I'll save these photos for later, since I want to start browning the steel parts, too.
