Brian Dudley - Gun Stock Maker

[Bob Jurewicz]

I just received a completed GH forend restoration that
Brian did for me. The original wood broke in half and the previous owner stuck it together with gorila glue. I found a decent forend wood that was in bad need of restoration, refinish, recheckering and fitting to the original metal. Brian did an outstanding job and the border is a perfect Parker match.
I probably should keep this my secret because before long he will be very busy with long backlog, but I do highly recommend his work!!!

Brian is working on a DH 10 gauge for me. I have only seen photos of the work in progress and look forward to getting the finished product. The photos so far look great

Brian has my VH too. Do you have any before\after pictures Bob?

[Bob Jurewicz]

I didn't think of pictures. I don't have a camera with me. I took one with the Iphone but it's not very good.

I sent the 1930 VHE with the broken stock (shown here) to Mr. Dudley with a piece of feather crotch walnut I had in my shop for restoring the gun. The workmanship and finish in the rehab of this orphan Parker is a joy to behold. The refit of the bent and twisted lower tang, the spur buttplate and the Parker shield are all done with the care of a true craftsman. The finish is exactly what I was anticipating to bring out the beauty of the wood. A tip of the hat to Brian for a well done restoration of this 80+ year old gun.

John,

That is a beautiful piece of wood and great workmanship on Brian's part. He did well for you.
