A question about Tip Curtis's kits. I was under the impression that Mr. Curtis's kits were only shaped to the lock panel and the entire forend was left square. Is this still the case?  If so, I'm not sure a beginner would want to start out on a kit like this.

Tip Curtis kits art completely shaped. You just need to inlet the tang and the rear of the lock and you can begin sanding if you do not plan to do any reshapind.

I built one of the Dunlap Isaac Haines kits as my 1st. Not having a lot of experience to begin with, I got it done and am very satisfied with the results. The service and advice was great ... fwiw...Kerry

Timberdog:
Look at my post today of a just finished Chamber's kit and search for my previous post about how I went about building and carving it.
