Chris Dawe has done my BHE wood. I originally posted pics of the gun when I joined the association. It had damage at the wrist and 100 odd years of grime to clean. I asked him not to erase every bump and mark just repair the damage and recut the worn checkering...
The results were superb. I cannot express how beautiful the wood is and how the light plays off the figure.

That’s beautiful craftsmanship. But it’s no surprise - we’ve seen examples of his work before.
I posted pictures a couple of years ago of the stock Chris restored on my Grade-4 hammer gun.

I’ve got one I’ve been told Mr. Dawe did the work and I’m pleased to say the least !

It is quite the piece of walnut. The variances in the grain reflects the light as you move it. The finish work has added so much depth, I am beyond happy.
