Firearms

Jim is most well known for his engraved Firearm masterpieces. Each gun, whether a commission or personal project, begins with detailed sketches of scroll work and scenes. The hunting scenes are complimentary to the use of the firearm. Each detailed drawing is then individually hand engraved on each piece of the firearm until the whole firearm is transformed to its highest potential.
