That is one beautiful gun! Thanks for posting the pics. I hope to see it in person before your customer picks it up.
That full range of color finish is what I could get my guns to look like.

This is the one Don Getz was showing around at the KRA show. It's even better in person.

@!*% you Allen,

Now the rest of us woodbutchers :-[are going to have to wait another year before we feel safe enough to post anything of ours again.

As usual my friend..... absolutely beautiful.

Love the finish.... (lampblack??) (rustoleum)

Again..... just stunning. Love the little angel under the patchbox lid.

I really like it Allen. From my perspective, you've nailed it! Would that I could see it in person! ...saved to appropriate file...

That little angel covered by the patchbox lid is a brilliant touch. Very nice work!

Alan, that is super. The wood finish is right up my alley. Great job.

Some guys are just naturals and really put us in our place!

Alan, that's a beautiful rifle... Carving, color, finish... I love that style of rifle and as always, superb craftsmanship! Thanks for posting the pics and look forward to talking with you at Dixon's.

Whoever the owner is....chain him to your table at CLA til we can get there to see the gun in person. It is classic!!

Brian · « **Reply #19 on:** July 05, 2008, 04:52:47 PM »

Must be nice to have talent!!

Beautiful Allen! I envy all you guys who will actually get to see it up close in the flesh.

You betcha. After seeing this, I ain't posting any photos of anything I build. Y'all would fall over laughing at my efforts compared to this.

Daryl · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2008, 02:48:07 AM »

Alen- looks perfectly finished to me. Let the owner use it and put the patina on it him or herself. I for one, do not like the pre-antiqued rifles. I believe the rifle should earn it's marks, scars and tattoos.

Beautious, really like the stock. Both the stain color and finish treatment.
