Thanks, guys, I appreciate it.
'Course, I've got to give all the credit to the good Lord, who gives me the chance to do it. Besides, He was the one that created such a pretty piece of walnut. I just cut away what didn't belong!
With as long s it's taking me, though, shooting season is fast approaching. I may have to wait to do the metal work until next winter.

Jeez Louise Skeeter, that is freakin gorgeous. I have seen some hi grade Italian guns that didn't look that nice. I tell you, I really really like what you did.

Wow, Skeeter, That is fantastic! Good luck with it! I wish I was better at wood than I am. the last time I tried to do something like that I was told the stock was an insult to the rest of the gun. Seriously.
