Lady's Lancaster
Craig Wilcox:
You are really great at the design phase - love it all. And you're giving me lots of ideas for the Lancaster I am building. Be a lot of new stuff for me to learn better.

Hi Jim,
Another Haines-inspired gun. You are a glutton for punishment! Beautiful design!

Tim, I have used Harrison Gunstock wood almost exclusively over the last 25 years and I have gotten to the point were I can tell how the grain and curl will show up on a finished rifle. Most of this wood was cut by Freddy in the 70's and 80's and is hard as a brick bat. You have to use very sharp chisels or it will chip out if you catch the grain wrong but man it finishes up very nice. Great wood, not cheap but well worth the price.
bama:
Thanks for all of the kind words on the design. This Isaac Haines pattern is one I have wanted to try for a long time and now is the time. I am going to do my best to not make a mess of it.
Marcruger:
Any progress photos Jim? Looks like it will be a beauty. What is the length of pull?
I always enjoy your fine with sir.
God Bless, Marc
