My Brother Taylor's new build. Thought you should see!

[Quote] Taylor]
I just finished this one for Leatherbelly.(local friend and BP shooter)..it features a 50" 28 gauge John Getz barrel inlet into a piece of PA red maple by and from Mark Wheland (great inlet Mark). The wood is stained with Ferric Nitrate crystals and water, and finished with Circa 1850 tung oil. Leatherbelly intends ( I believe) to mostly shoot ball out of her, so for a pattern, I used Chamber's PA fowler profile with some modifications...length of pull 14 1/2", changed the wrist, but used all of the hardware from Chambers' PA fowler. Those of you who have purchased John Schipper's new book on engraving, will recognize that I too have a copy. Wonderful book!! I browned the barrel, case hardened the screws, and polished the lock bright. Leatherbelly hasn't even seen her finished...maybe tonight!

Need I say "Taylor" is my favourite builder. Yes, I'm predudice'd.
