Dave,
I don't know if I'd wait till Tuesday. Great job Mike, really like the carving at the tang.

Mike, that one speaks to me. Elegant in it's simplicity. Just right. We all wish we could whip out copies/interpretations as this and others you have shared. Enjoy your work here and on the PBS Craftsman series.

Real nice gun Mike, I am beginning to appreciate smoothbores much more. We had a great demonstration of not underestimating smoothbores at our turkey shoot today.   Two very nice turkeys were won by guys shooting smoothbores against rifles.  A smoothbore shooter actually shot a beautiful 3-4" group at 75 yds. off hand---onlyest problem it wasn't in the scoring area....

All the best
Ron

Once more you've nailed it Mike. Love the architecture and relief carving, the "just enough" engraving. The gun seems to say "pick me up, lets go hunting!" Excellent work, I like it a lot.

I usually try to say something different, but this pretty much sums up what I was thinking too!
Very COOL!

If you can't run with the big dogs you gotta stay on the porch. ;D

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
