  What a beautiful rifle, and made for an American Hero to top it off.

Bill,
Outstanding job as always.  She's a real beauty.  I'm sure the owner was very happy.

Great work, Bill.   I've been impressed with your carving for a long time.  One of your earlier  rifles is my screen saver.  These photos are just as impressive.

Best Regards,

I think what Don Getz said about Mr. Shipmans' work, says it best.  Actually, there have been a few nice longrifles featured on the Blog, lately, from builders on this forum.

That is just an extraordinary longrifle.  I like everything about it.  The engraving on the patchbox is wonderful.

Extraordinary, yes! But isn't this just typical of what we see from Dr. Shipman's hands time after time?

I have always had a soft spot for that G Kreps rifle.
Beautiful work.

Leatherbelly, I'd like to see that as well.  I'll post the rifle in the gunbuilders section as soon as I reedite the pictures.
