Thanks Paul, that's very kind. It's a juggling act. My stocker will need the whole thing of course and it's not my usual man who didnt want the hassle of a bar-in-wood. So this is someone recommended to me..but he'll take 5-6 weeks which is an age for me. I'll do the barrels, blacking barrels and furniture and finish the stock and then have my checkering mate Mike work his magic.

Thank you for the kind offer...you never know I might come back to you.
Cheers
