Shotguns as Art

[Michael D Hankinson]

Will be there this coming Tuesday to review the collection. This exhibit covers many unique collections besides the "Doubles", will be interesting to just observe people viewing the firearms portion of this exhibit.

No plans on bailing. In fact I have a highly trained crew of four craftsmen dedicated to Barrel refinishing. My son Parker is my head apprentice and has learned the entire process including the secret formulas, to ensure that the
process survives me.

Lori and I along with the staff attended the Museum opener. The place was packed. I was concerned that so few guns would show well. The museum staff did a great job with the display and gave us the prominent spot in the room. They were very proud over the guns present. I must admit that I was worried over the possible reaction to guns in the Art world, I was pleasantly surprised with what people had to say. I feel that we were able to present a strong counterpoint to non-gun owners and a true appreciation for guns as Art.
