Default Brian Board and TimberLuxe

A BIG shout out to Brian Board.
He just finished a first year Model 21 20 gauge for me that was less than perfect.
Now this...







...and a really nice guy. Thank you sir!

His work is amazing and so is his customer service. I haven’t had any gun work done by Brian but I recently bought some Timberluxe and was treated great.

Bobby that is a 21 I would pick if I were in the market. You’re a lucky man.

I am about to ship my Dad's Model 1100 410ga Stock to him. Can't wait to see what he is able to do with it.

I've talked to him a couple of times now, very interesting guy to talk to, very passionate about what he does.

Your 21 looks beautiful, congrats!

Please let us know how the 1100 turns out. My experience has been that taking off the plastic finish is a real bear, and even after removing it, a residue remains in the grain, making an oil-type finish difficult to rub in.

He's telling me, he's going to make it look like it did the day my dad picked it up back in the 70's. My dad special ordered this gun back then, it's a 3" chambered, 28" full choke gun. Dad grew up in the depression, and loved his squirrels and rabbits, and didn't want any meat wasted. So, he ordered this .410, had his name engraved in the reciever, etc. He was a deadly head shot on small game. I grew up hunting with it as well, killing many rabbits and squirrels.

Anyway, my uncle "borrowed" the gun from dad back in the late 80's, and it came back to him with a hairline crack runing from the butt plate, to about 6" into the stock. I'd been wanting to get it repaired for a long time now, and another member on here mentioned Brian as a possible solution to my problem.

Some of the small bore 1100's had mahogany stocks. To my untrained eye, your's may be one of them

I'll ask Brian when he gets it, as my eye is even more untrained than yours...

Timberlux is a great product! Provides an excellent final finish to a hand rubbed stock.
