More of a point man myself (matches my head) but the workmanship is amazing. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

I have to agree with that. I especially like what looks to my untrained eye to be different LPI density in various parts of the pattern. Outstanding! Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

I know many folks hereprefer point patterns but one must admit.....this is a beautiful work of art. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Fleur de lis checkering has to be done righter than right to look even half way right. That looks pretty right to me.  Who's the author? Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

This is some of Duane Wiebe's work. Duane sent me the photo and I thought some of you guys would be interested. I'd be curious how time it would take to do this work. I'll guess 45 hours to do this and a matching pattern on the grip. Hopefully Duane will see this post and chime in with an answer. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time."

Forrest, I am quite sure I could complete this 45 minutes or less. Send $5K to my associate Mr. Hsu and I will demonstrate... "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Well....If Iknew this was going to be posted, I'd have a litle more careful about photography. This is mostly a restocking of a Browning Olympian grade. The owner has comissioned a few guys to make a statement on custom work and plans to donate it all, perhaps to the Cody WY museum. The checkering is a combo of English flat top at about 20 LPI and traditional at 26 LPI...don't know if this is original, but I've never seen the combo before. The grip is done, and when it's looking spiffy, I'll post it ...takes a couple coats of oil to really make it sparkle. Time involved for fore end and grip is 24 hrs. The flat top goes pretty fast as long as there are NO SLIPS...one slip and you slash your wrists this | |||

Very, very nice. I see that your reputation is well deserved, Mr. Wiebe. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.
