Brian has done a number of projects for myself and friends with excellent results. His backlog has lengthened which is a reflection of his success. It is nice to see a young man seceded in his chosen craft.

That would be 'succeed'.

This is all I can provide. Pictures of the original wood. A buttstock that was split in the head, oil soaked, cracked and nailed. And a forend that looked like it was chewed by a dog.
I provided a nice cleaned up replacement forend wood. And fitted up/refinished another O frame buttstock that Mike provided me with. image.jpg

As my friend, Tom would say. "Looks like enough to keep you warm for 15 minutes on a cold winter night!"

As anyone who knows will will tell you, I've got more gunsmith horror stories than anybody I know.
Since Russ Bickel died, I've really had a bad run, that's till I got together with Brian. He's done absolutely stellar work. I've got something I need to send him right now! Destry

I can attest to Brian's work. About a year and a half ago I sent him a 16 Ga VH on a 0 frame that had definitely seen better days. He fixed the cracked head of the stock, and put a very nice "hunters" finish on the stock. Did not look new, but I did not want it to. I was more than pleased. Thanks Brian, Steve
