Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I certainly could have wasted it more than they did. I'm an expert at wasting stuff.

That wood looks good but looks are deceiving. Could be very soft and course grained.  I have been deceived by looks too many times.

Im kinda glad you did'nt get it Mike. You would have just made another gun that I would have wanted and of course cant afford an I would have suffered from it.
