Thanks Guys for the kind words!  This rifle is nicknamed "Slowpoke" because it took about twice as long to complete as I had originally anticipated.  She was built in the evenings after my regular 9-5 work at the Colonial Williamsburg gunshop.  I have one or two more commissions to finish after this one, and then I've got a bunch of projects that I want to make!  I'll have a table at Dixon's again this year with blueprints for sale, and will be roaming around the CLA show in August.  This rifle and one other of mine will be on Bill Ruggie's table at the CLA.  Hope to see many of you there! 
Best,
-Eric

Eric,
Fantastic looking rifle! You are a true artesian. Have not emailed with you for a while but congratulations on your position at Colonial Williamsburg and I know you are going to be great there. I'm sure George appreciates all you have to offer the shop. Look forward to seeing your work as you complete it. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. Good luck.
