Hi Stu.
Thanks for the kind comments. Currently, the gun room is a cluttered mess. Sort of embarrasing It's in a state where only one of us Forum members would enjoy rummaging through. I need to order another long gun and pistol rack. But I need to sort things out to see exactly what I need. But I'll get it done this year. It's on the project list.
Rick.

generally those inserts are hollow brass rods with brass inserts then it is heated and seal wax is poured in. then they are cut and polished.

Hi Ward.
Hmmmm......interesting. I would have never guessed. But it makes sense. Still can't imagine making such intricate, tiny decoration like this. Imagine the patience. Thanks for the information.
Rick.
