Default Restock of a Sterlingworth 16g.

Here are some photos of a Sterlingworth 16g. that I finished a restock on about a year ago for a local gentleman. Originally he was going to give the checkering to a good friend of his. But he is pretty much retired at this point and not taking anymore work. So, the gun came back to me to complete the job. And I could finally get photos of the finished gun.

The piece of walnut was sawn about 30 years ago from a very old tree in the Buffalo area. It is absolutely beautiful. Not too crazy for a Sterlingworth, but nice enough to set it apart from the rest.

That's a wonderful piece of wood Brian and it is befitting a much higher grade of gun (but looks really nice on that Sterly).
