Labor Day Woodsrunner for your viewing
« on: September 04, 2023, 03:59:36 PM »
I can’t say enough about what a great product Jim Kibler is producing. I put this Woodsrunner together for a client and I tried a carving pattern that is a little more elaborate than the original but I think still is in the style of the original design enough that it doesn’t overwhelm the rifle itself. Tell me what you think.

Looks great, really like the engraving on the sideplate. Wish I had the talent to do work like that.

I particularly like the carving behind the tang, it makes the rifle look even faster.
