Title: John Ennis,still building guns?
Post by: Madcaster on December 12, 2009, 07:42:39 AM

 As you know,one of his guns was on the VCR tapes with the rooster patchbox and so many intricate inlays and carving details that it makes one's head spin!
 So I am just curious,anyone know if he is still building guns?
 And yeah,I DO wish I could afford that particular one! ;)

I'm not sure, but I think he's more into making spurs and horse gear now. Said something about it paying better.

If so making spurs can be lucrative - here's a pair of his for $49K........

Yes, that is him.  The work in those spurs is absolutely incredible.
