Dave, my vote is the same as Richard (Pukka) above.
I love looking at these rifles, and even more, holding and firing them. Your creations are always top-of-the-heap, showing great attention to detail, and very meticulous carving, wire inlay, and inlet metal work.
I always strive to emulate you, and although generally failing at it, continue to try. Don't have a lot of years left to me, but nevertheless, I keep on trying.
Many thanks for providing a great example to all the rest of us.
Craig
