  It looks to be cherry. Allan's guns are always built to a high standard of fit and finish and his silver wire work is beautiful.

What impresses me as much as the eye candy decore and finish, is the gun's architecture.  That is a shooter's/hunter's rifle, and it's stock design would support any calibre you chose to use.  I like his stock oil too.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

I love to look at and hold his guns at CLA every year. The architecture just feels like a shooter and is beautiful sculpture....

Thank you for noticing the proper spelling of his name. Even the blog got it wrong.


Now why would I be sensitive to this??  ;D

Oh yes, eye candy for sure. I agree that it looks to be a comfortable shooter. Looks to be British inspired, contemporary school. Alan Sandy master gunmaker school.  Smyle
