Introduction and Fowler build
« on: August 05, 2017, 09:59:49 PM »
I have been building guns since 2006. I do 2 to 3 a year.

There are some holes in my skillset, metal engraving being number 1.

Right now, I am currently building a 20GA Fowler from Maple.  Barrel length will probably be around 33". My blank will allow around 36" max.

I had the barrel/ramrod inlet on my blank, so I am cheating just a little! I have done some 100%, but my time has a little more value it seems nowadays.

I have 1/4" castoff, and a 14 3/8 LOP (close anyway).

I have an L&R "Queen Anne" lock, but I am going to have to tweak it some.

Anyway, this is only my second smoothbore, so I am going to have some questions for sure.

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