Hudson Valley fowler stock

[conquerordie]

For the builders who have built a full length fowler, did you opt for a one piece stock or did you splice two pieces together as seen on some originals? I just found a half competed Dutch 1710 lock from TRS in a parts bin. Looks like the only thing I'm missing is the rest of the fowler! Thanks for the help,

I did mine all in one piece, no reason you couldn't or shouldn't splice it, just to hard for my brain to figure out how to do it.

Why not a 72" barrel?  Step ladders are cheap.   ;-)   Hah! 

Nice looking fowler.  You don't see one of those every day. 

Best wishes,   Marc

Mike,

Where do you get a piece of wood like that. Barrel and ramrod hole drilled by someone? Thanks for the info. You nailed the style and "feel" of this fowler.

Got the wood and the barrel inlet/rr hole from Fred Milller...it wasn't cheap.
