Ladies and Gentlemen,
If you remember, a few months ago I posted a thread asking questions on how to selective gray. I have been working on a special project at work that is going to be revealed at the Las Vegas Shot Show for Browning. I was selected to design and engrave the One Millionth Citori. It was an extreme honor to do but I had to seek out special help from individuals to help me a long the way. Some of those individuals were you guys and gals here on the Lindsay Forum and I owe you a big THANK YOU. I also want to thank Steve Lindsay himself for the inspiration he has given me with the tools and support. I designed the gun with similar scroll used on Lindsay's advertisement because of the the inspiration he and his tools have given me. I can not take all the credit for the work on the gun. Because of the time given (two months) I had to have help completing the project. My close friend and fellow Browning engraver, Ron Reimer, was that person. Ron did the checkering and carving of the wood and he also engraved the forearm metal and top lever. Ron has also been a enormous inspiration to me. He is always challenging me not only with words but with his outstanding engraving skills. There is only one thing wrong with him.......he doesn't own a Palm Control. But I guess everyone has to have there faults!:lol: I will cut him some slack because his last words after using my Palm Control were "Man is thing is awesome! I really need to get one." Thank you to everyone involved. I hope to have some pictures of the process a long the way when I get back from the Shot Show. Until then here are a few quick shots of the finished product.
