Another wonderful Kibler rifle. Jim's carving is amazing and if you ever have the opportunity to see him carve he makes it look easy. And this would be a grand rifle even if it were not carved at all. Suberb architecture! Heinz
Wow, what precision! Jim I had never seen your work before. It is very impressive to say the least. The carving seems very detailed and the fitting of the lock is exact. What a rifle beautiful work!
When Robert Weil started collecting images for the Contemporary Makers book in 1973 the challenge to record contemporary gun work was daunting. Gathering material was difficult and time consuming. Few makers thought that there was any value in published documentation of their work. Electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. In spite of all the potential to finally have a true overview of what's being produced by the artists of today, a great deal of work still remains covered up and basically unknown. Our role is to make an effort to document some portion of what’s going on today. To comment on the established makers and to uncover the unknown. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look to you our readers to make us aware of the talented makers out there. Art and Jan Riser Robert Weil and The Makers
