No, I haven't seen any of Dewey's work. I do all my own work including the frames so I'm not familiar with every competent restorer out there. I'm just finishing up a 10 bore hammer gun and putting "wear" on the frame and tip colors. This is the way I do all my personal guns. I like Brian's philosopy and skills. There are no doubt others out there that can do what he does but his philosophy matches mine although I am confident he can do "new" restorations also. The 10 bore will be finished when I get to the checkering. I do guns in batches of three. This is the last of the three. Checkering will start next week.
