In a departure from my usual work restoring old guns, I have been asked to make two new shotguns.
Can't wait to see the photos and hear the stories associated.
A dear friend had a gun made in England in the late 80s / early 90s. He has the funniest stories from the +/-5yrs it took to get the gun from order to delivery. I told him he should write a short book to accompany the gun.
One of my favorites is when he happened to be in UK and went with his man managing the project to the engraver, to check status. Apparently the gun had been with the guy for quite some time and when they arrived at his house, the guy was in the garden picking turnips. When 'questioned' why he was gardening and not engraving, they guy just sorta shrugs and says "The garden needed tending."
