Default Restored Damascus

For us Parkerphiles who enjoy properly restored Damascus, here is a recently restored set. Upon close inspection, one can almost detect the presence of four colors, as opposed to simple black and white. This set has an exceptional top and bottom rib, demonstrating very unique patterns from what we usually see. Enjoy!

No Drew, he didn't do the barrels, but like Shake & Bake chicken, he sure helped alot. Channing and I do the barrels together.

Fantastic Brad! I would love to have some turn out like these; have to give it a try some day. BTW Drew, are we going to do a "Damascus-in-the-Desert" this year?

I'd like to Greg (and Phil) but maybe at Ben Avery. I'll make a post on all the Forums in the winter and see what sort of response we get. Some Fox fellas are also interested.
I guess another option would be to meet in Sonoita and chase some Mearns together in Jan. Lots of rain this Monsoon on Las Cienegas

Drew I was out this weekend down south. We have been recieving some rain, hope it keeps up. The Mearns should be very good if the rains keep coming. Took out my A2 and shot some pigeons for my new shorthair. Let me know if a doubles in the desert is on this year, I will help where I can. Otherwise we will go chase some quail .
