Claudio, That is a wonderful job! First class in every respect.
Have you given any further thought to joining the ACGG? Your work is certainly of Guild quality. Let me know if I can help you in any way if you should decide to join. Ther are other members that feel the same way that I do and would be willing to assist you.

"I also knew that nothing short of perfection would do a Purdey justice" Ain't that the truth!!!

You know, we are blessed with some really fine gun-pro's around here who do not mind sharing their experience and knowledge with the 'rest of us'. That Purdey stock is a wonder to a Klutz like me...Geo

Thank you all, it is a nice feeling to get this kind of approval ,...especially when one considers the experience in this crowd.
Bill,...I have been planning to post this for quite a while but it was difficult to find the time, so I did it in sections. I wanted to tell the whole story in case someone started to wonder what I was doing monkeying with a new Purdey.
LD,...The stock was finished with slackum and lots of elbow grease,...and it will be coming back at the end of the season for some more rubbing and pore filling.
Jason,...like I said, I lost count and the fist one will only give you a rough idea. D.T. told me how long it takes him to do one,....by the time he was done I would have been just starting to shape the tear drops
JDW,...Purdey sets the standard,...we just try to get close to it
Doug,...I haven't forgotten the offer,...I've just been procrastinating about it,...we should chat some more
Chris,...I have a couple different ones you can try,...that one is gone my friend
Thank you all again!
CJ

Beautiful work, as usual. Thanks for sharing it with us.
