This rifle has the look of the fine old flintlock rifles.  You did a great job.  I will get a better look at it at the CLA show next week.

Roy...  Great looking rifle all the way 'round.  I love those stocky little rifles, especially the dark wood with the bright barrel and lock.  Very nice carving, and I think you nailed the wood patchbox.  I think I like the carving around the entry thimble the best.  Thanks for the pics!

Roy....glad to hear you got a table.   I was going to ask if you were bringing it along, good to hear that you will be showing us some more of your stuff.   This a neat looking gun, makes a heck of a "southern" barn gun.  Look forward to
meeting you.............Don

     As that fictional 1/8th of a ton detective, Nero Wolf, would say: Satisfactory!!!
If compliments were food, you should never go wanting.  My reaction to your work: Humbling and Awestruck.  It gives the rest of us a goal to strive for.  Beautiful work.  Thank you for the eye candy.
