neatly done, you will often see repairs done in that manner on the thin wrists of Pennsylvania Rifles.

Done by a true craftsman, noting how all the screws are timed.

Too bad he was in the wrong craft.

These are known as Selous plates for the White Hunter, Frederick Selous, whose guns were made that way at the factory. I believe a true Selous sideplate was made flush with the wood. The PH is a wonderful piece of work.

So I guess being screwed up is no always bad? Maybe we may say screwed good or screwed many times over or screwed well?Just Kidding.
