SAA pics work in progress
Here are some pics of a Colt SAA I just finished. It is now ready to be sent back to Doug Turnbull to be put together. This was a very fun project. A lot more work than I thought it would be but a fun project none the less.

Re: SAA pics work in progress
That looks great Ray, done in traditional style but with a higher level of detail and finish, very nice work indeed.

Re: SAA pics work in progress
Thanks guys,
I enjoyed this job so much that I have actually ask Ron Nott about getting into the Colt market. I have had a great career engraving knives and pens and fly rods but this was an experience. The SAA is such a great canvas. I am thinking I definitely will have to do more of these. Ray
