I feel it is only proper to find highly figured wood to be disgusting and tell the world so. This in hopes that high prised blanks will come down, where the average wood freaks can afford them.
I feel it to be totally improper to make the price of a wood fix so high that we junkies have to sell the first born just for a little relief from the monkey that rides are back.

Dig-
I have not priced the shotgun engraving over here, but I know it would run around $6500 to get a Henry single shot rifle pattern done. You can still find Henrys for that price, so i figure if you have the cash, then it is the perfect way to get a free gun! All you have to do is buy the engraving.
I am really interested to hear some price ranges for "typical" Purdey engraving. When rebuilding guns, the engraving that is already there helps tip the "rebuild vs. buy new" balance in the pre-owned's favor.

Hickory Dickory Hadoke,
Harry K's tools run up the lock-eys:
Former Purdey men apply their ken,
Stockers ply their scary zen;
The end result is simply chokey!
What a great gun! KBM

The subliminal message in them swirls screams: 'Italians do it better!'

 Purdy was using good looking wood in 1878.

There are a lot of things that Italians do better. However; Conquering the world isn't one of them.

Jim - I seem to recall that they got quite close at one point in history. Had Hermann the Cherusker not stopped then in Germania, we might live in a decidedly more Italian world.

They are about 100 years too late to conquer the shotgun world.
