Mr. Boyleston certainly has used his imagination here.  These clubs feature far more intricacy in carving than any originals I have had the pleasure to see.  His workmanship is excellent.  I especially like the first one.  Thanks for presenting these.

Steve,
The designs are great and I can't take my eyes off of the wood!  WoW!  What finish/dye did you use?

Thanks!

The Slippery Rock Tree was cut in Slippery Rock PA in the early 70,s by Gerald Gutchess. it was used primarily by John Bivins - Monte Mandarino and Jack Haugh. A good deal of it went into the Bicentenial Rifles that they built.
