Had to change it

[greeneyedblackcat]

I had been going back and forth on my finish preference on this tommy gun, originally I had parkerized it. I wasn't really "digging" the parkerized finish so today I glass beaded and blued it. I personally think it looks better, just wondering what you guys think>>>>:cat:

I like the blueing better.

But really, you could have clown painted it and it would still be cool.

 

[jasontg99]

Your work never ceases to amaze me.

 

[wolftat]

Outstanding.

 

[skiprat]

Yep, correct choice though it was still cool before.
I couldn't see so well in the previous pics, but in these ones you can see what a stunning piece of wood you used too!!! Top marks!! You can stay at the top of the class!!:wink::biggrin:

It still looks awesome whatever colour you make it, the blueing does look more natural though!

 

[Jon-wx5nco]

That is just way too kewl! I love it! :RockOn:

 

[gwilki]

It looks great both ways. I must admit that, being a wood guy, I spent more time looking at the gorgeous stock and grips than I did at the finish on the metal bits.

Ingenious work, as usual.

 

[IPD_Mrs]

Awesome all the way around. I personally would love to see your shop. I bet it is the ultimate man cave.

 

[jttheclockman]

Either way it looks great but as you said with these photos the wood stands out the best to me. Stunning pieces of wood. Make for a nice pen blank also.

Jim that piece would look good painted Barbie Pink !! seriously while the parkerized finish looked good, the Bluing really sets the wood off a bit better. Nice work, or did I already say that <LOL>

Still "FEEKIN AWESSOME" Jim.

Funny.....when I was a little kid had a play tommy gun colored the way you had it before so I like that color, but I ended up spraying it black because I liked the look of it.......Didnt have the great walnut??? grips though.

:musical-note: Walkin down the street,
Shootin people that I meet......
Fully loaded Tommy gun.....:musical-note:

Amazing doesn't begin to describe it! looks great both ways but I'm kinda partial to the darker color.

I thought the first time was as near perfect as possible. Now I know it wasn't. Whoda thunk it? You did actually improve on perfection. Congratulations.

never saw this one before. If you are looking for inspiration for the freestyle pens, this should get you outside of the box

Well, I guess I should be fair. This was posted before you joined. So I can't be *too* hard on you.
