Wow Blake, this is absolutely beautiful!
I would love to see the look on the guys face when he received this, it would be priceless…...

A work of art and I am sure that you will sell the others to someone who truly appreciates this level of fine craftsmanship.

I love the details of the carving around the pulls, the banding inlay and the reeds and ducks, just fantastic!

Job well done !

Wow!

The Padauk has a wonderful colour – do you know of any way of stopping it changing to chocolate brown over time ?

That’s superb! did you do the Mallard marquetry design yourself? (forgive me if that was a rude question) but if so what woods / Dyes did you use

Whoowhee, I like! And the shotgun comes with it, Right? That is n-i-c-e.

Extraordinary. Fantastic work, don’t know what else to say really.

Also big thanks for the photos of your process. Always loving those. Congratulations on the online sale and good luck for the other boxes.
It seems people are the same all over though. Not realizing the work behind it, or wanting things in a week or whatever else that one can only shake his head at.

Congratulations on the sale.
Such fine work you have done there.
It will look wonderful for a collector of guns, to display his favorite.

Congrats on the sale!! Why don’t you post the prices on your site? I hae seen a lot of shooting boxes. Those are a bit higher quality matericlas than most and a little different design.

I love guns and I love wood. What an incredible attention to detail. The top is perfectly suited. The gouged drawer pull scallops are the icing on the cake. I absolutely love this piece.
