got the urge to have a club butt fowler built for me would love to see some pictures of the ones members here have.

I've built some. This one is stocked in cherry.

This one is stocked in ash. Both of these I think had Colerain 46" barrels, probably 11 or 10 bores. As you can see I sort of always build them the same way.

VERY NICE Mike! love the dark ash!

Homely but elegant.A 10 gage would be my first choice with either my or Jim Chambers
Late Ketland lock.

Mine are a far cry from the ones already posted which is why I only make lamps now.
I built this one a few years ago and it now resides in N. Carolina

I’ve always liked these. They just say “Pilgrims” to me. Going to bite that bullet one of these years. Usually large bore. Might be hard to sell on spec which is all I’ve ever done.

adkmountainken · « **Reply #12 on:** January 02, 2018, 05:25:33 PM »

They make the best Turkey guns ever. The stock architecture absorbs all the recoil. Put lots of jug in and out to the turkey woods you go!

I like them all , but that Cherry one really grabs me , nice job! Nate

Mike got to admit that three lock bolts...intrigues me...didn't think there was that much metal there to thread...cool...!

Grand guns all, and that Cherry Mike, I like the worn /used finish. Looks handled forever. Great work!

Bob R,

Wouldn't have thought a Late Ketland would sit right on one of these. Bit late doncha' think?

Best,
R.

This is kind of a club butt. It started out as an early fowler style I have made before and then I put more belly on it.

This is another one that I did. Very shortened style that some call a canoe gun. (Mike Brooks, lookaway) The decoration was done by a friend of mine.

Really love the doglocks! Did you build these two?

Vulcan: Really love the doglocks! Did you build these two?

Yes I did. Top one is an import lock found on line, bottom one is a lock by Leonard Day. The gun is a copy of a gun built for "The Sultan of Bantam" (17th century) Photos of the original attached.
