I hope this is a correct enough forum for this question: Is Keith still the "go-to" man for damascus barrel browning, and if so, does anyone have his address? (yes, I realized I snuck in 2 questions, but I figured I'd press my luck)

He's done some nice work for me over the years. On two occasions I've had him plug swivel holes in german guns and reblue and you couldn't tell (even outside and in the sun) that they ever had holes in the rib before. He is that good IMO.

Browning, yes. Black and white, maybe not so much.

Kirby Hoyt claims Buck Hamlin out of Missour'a is the best browner in the USA...I'm picky and Buck did an outstanding job on my W.& C. Scott.

I will be one to add a positive response to Keith's efforts in Re-Browning. He has done some excellent work for me and I appreciate it. , too, am not so sure if you want black and white.

Keith is excellent. Buck is excellent. I've used Keith and seen Buck's work too.

I agree with others that there may be better choices for a black and white refinish. I've seen pics of a few of Keith's black and white refinishes, and they still came out a decidedly English-looking brown.
Dale Edmunds and Brad Bachelder both do nice black and white finishes. Dale really has that technique DOWN.

His black and white work is horrible.
Also don't ever send him a gun to put a leather covered pad on. He did one for me a few years ago. It looked sort of like a road apple rolled up into vaguely the shape of a recoil pad then stuck on the gun with super glue. I'm really not exaggerating here, I wish I was.
