very nice work Mitch, two questions: what is the trigger pull and the spring for the sliding wooden patch box, you make or purchase? Thanks, really like the carving

Steve

the pull is 13 1/4"-13 3/8"

I made the catch by peening a button on a piece of 3/32" x 1/4" piece of steel .Don't know what kind steel it is as I picked it out of a buddies scrap bin and as it doesn't need any heat treatment it doesn't matter.I can snap a pic of it if you like.
