If you're talking hand forging a barrel and lock and making all the other parts, only a few people have actually done it. All the master gunsmiths at Williamsburg have (Wallace Gusler, Gary Brumfield and whosoever may be the current master), Brad Innis of North Carolina. I'm sure there are others, but I don't know who they are.
Now, I've also known folks who have built guns from kits (locks and barrels already made) and have assembled them onto a plank of wood they cut and carve into a stock. They've also relief carved and did fancy wire inlays and engraved it. Plenty of those running around and probably more now than in the old days.
