My CH....

[chris dawe]

This old girl has been years getting to where I want it ,this is its third incarnation ,and at this point I think i'm close ,I rarely post pics of my work for a few reasons ... lack of time , and the ability to take a decent pic -to name a couple ,so bear with these

I picked the blank in American black because I really liked it basically ,the wrist checkering is a pattern I loosely copied from a CH associated with L.L.Bean,the forend pattern is mostly Parker with a little me thrown in ...I looked at it as a special order ,my gun ...they way I wanted it done .

I also have a set of 28" 16 gauge vulcan bbls fitted to the gun and a second forend in the works (again ,when time allows ) these are for days when the sun don't shine ,those Bernards are just too shaggin pretty!

And last but not least ,I have to thank Brad Bachelder for the beautiful work he did on my Bernard barrels...He graciously worked around my time constraints ,and the work as the pictures shows absolutely perfect!
