I am really liking the Kibler Fowler Kit
« on: September 08, 2024, 03:15:34 AM »
I just finished another Kibler Fowler for a customer and I wanted to post it here to again say thanks to Jim and his crew for producing such a great product.

I finished this one a little darker and I really like the way it turned out.

Thanks guys, these Fowler kits are the best kits Jim has turned out so far, so its easy to make a good looking piece. Alacran, thanks for your comments about my engraving. It is improving, I still have a long way to go before I will be happy with it but even I can tell it's getting better.
