Hey Buzz,
For you to characterize questioning your authority to speak for the entire Browning Collectors Community as becoming "unglued",
then perhaps you should take a little of your own advice, "toughen up man".
For you to insinuate that my intentions are to fradulently try to pass off my upgrade as anything other than what it is is unfounded and a little insulting.

BTW Buzz,
Reread my original post. I solicited comment on wood blanks.
I'm really not interested in your pseudo expert opinion on restorations or upgrades.
