Bill Large/JBM again
« on: April 02, 2012, 03:04:21 AM »
I think we had this discussion before, but I have forgotten and can't find the thread.  I just traded for a JJJJ/L barrel with JBM stamped just to the right of the JJJJ/L.  Was JBM the nephew who made some barrels after Bill's death?  If we did this previously, please forgive the repetition.

JBM is Jim Bill McKenzie,Bill Large's grandson who made a few barrels after Bll died but wasn't that interested in keeping the shop going. It sat dormant for over 20 years until Jim McLemore bought it.

Thanks Bob, I should have known you knew the answer.  I hope it is a good barrel.
