Hanshi,  some of us like ladys that wear overalls! Post away.  Personally, I appreciate the fine guns but prefer ones with a little character.  A little hard earned bark is what make the tree more interesting.

Here's one of mine, which I bought in the white, also a first for me. Cherry stock, 62 caliber, bore measures about .613 IIRC. I used cold blue paste on the barrel and rest of the furniture, except for the lock.

Here's one I made this summer...I guess it's more "smooth rifle" than fowler. 20 gauge

Wow, very nice pieces on display here!

To be clear, what is considered a "club butt" or "club foot" stock?  Is it a generally beefier buttstock with thicker wood near the buttplate?  Or is it also a shape (like Rich Pierce's first fowler pictured above)?

What was the purpose of the club butt?  I surmise it may have been a feature that lent itself well to defending oneself in a fight, but I could see where perhaps it was meant to add weight and reduce felt recoil.

A fowling piece made by my mentor and friend Jim Hash based on an original once owned by Jerry Scales. All handmade except the lock which is a Chambers.

A hodge-podge composite monstrosity I built for a friend who already had the six foot, 12 ga. Rayl barrel into a maple stock. Hardened leather "buttplate", rotating box cover.
