GEC mod for a customer

Post by glennbad »

I am slowly starting to get caught up on my projects. Here's one I finished recently. The customer had this GEC, but wanted a different look to it

He wanted a different look for the bolsters, and new covers. Here's some WIP pics.

I liked the slanted bolsters on the original. The cell/acrylic was okay, and the shield was nice, but who doesn't love some nice jigged bone as a replacement?

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have managed to get some time in the shop lately, so have been able to catch up a bit on orders.

There should be some new "creations" showing up soon. For those who have been waiting for their knives, thank you for your patience!

Glenn
