That is really wonderful! Now I know there must be equally wonderful wood to go with it. More pictures?

Will it be case colored, french greyed? What caliber?

Highwalls are the greatest rifle ever made, and this will be one of the best of the best. Quite a rifle indeed.

Beautiful work. Good to see falling blocks, and engraving like that in this day and age of black plastic.

Wow! That just wets my appetite for seeing the completed rifle! Any early American single shot rifle has my interest. But one this spectacular REALLY has my interest!

Brent,
Wood is a nice piece from Johnson Wood Products in Strawberry Point Ia. They have some fine Am. Walnut at very fair prices. Easy to deal with....called and told them what I needed, they sent 3 blanks and I sent 2 back along with a check for the one that stayed here. Action and etc. will be color hardened then toned back/down in some areas, otherwise the engraving seems to get hidden to some degree. Caliber is 38-55.

I did the same with the case colors on my engraved highwall using the simichrome polishing past you recommended. Worked great.

I know of the Strawberry Point people. They have been around a long time.
