Josh Wrightsman fowler

I had Josh Wrightsman build a fowler for me.  I am sure some of you have already seen these pictures, but I thought I would share.  It has a 42" Getz .62 caliber smooth bore barrel.  All the furniture was made by Josh.

That's spectacular. Can you shoot a closeup of the carving on the buttstock - where it looks like it wraps around the bottom on the right side?

Some unique touches there. I like it a lot.

I don't think I've ever seen a triggerguard quite like that before.

I don't have a complete picture of that carving handy.  Here is a picture during construction.
