Awesome operation and Products Jim. Quality sells!! For you or any gun builders out there,would gun builders of the 1700's sell a flawed stock as long as it was structurally sound? I can see if it was a commissioned piece they would not allow flaws. But i can't see many SMR builders chucking a piece of wood in the pot belly for a bark inclusion or mineral stain. Keep up the videos Jim they are really informative.

Patches and fixes in stocks were common and considered perfectly acceptable, even in high end European work.

Thanks, Jim for the quick answer. Didn't think they threw away much that could be fixed.

Very interesting and exciting Jim. I refer to your successful business often in my MBA classes to make the point that with effort, determination and skill you and Katherine have created a fantastic business. You have used your ingenuity to make a business out of an idea, and it is an inspiration.
If you will allow me, I am proud of you both, though I had nothing to do with your success. I hope to visit one day and see these wonders of creativity for myself.
Best regards,
Carl
