Very classy looking job. Hope you have a son or daughter to pass that gun on to. That gun needs to stay in the family for many generations to be enjoyed by each shooter.

Beautiful piece, but unless you put some very grippy checkering on that horn butt, it will be slippery as glass.

Nice job,and if the inletting is as good as it looks shouldent be a worry there IMO,like others here have attested ,straight grain can crack too...I'm doing a Lefever for myself ,wood is very curly in the wrist ,if it breaks I'll replace it...till then I'll enjoy it,that being said I do make them myself ,so replacement would never be as much of a problem for me as it will others

Newf- If the trigger guard extends far enough, would it be possible to inlet in a reinforcing "biscuit" into the wrist to preclude any possibility of cracking?
