Very Nice work! I especially like the black and white damascus. I need to work on that this winter as I have never been satisfied with my results with black and white.

Steve, Chris is still working on his results and had asked me if he could work on mine to help refine his technique. I had been planning to send it to the US as there are few craftsmen here who will take it on. IMHO, he's got that technique down pretty well. LOL
I couldn't be happier with his work.

DW, ADVICE TO REACTIONARIES and GUYS with COMB-OVERS: You can beat a dead horse, but you can't make him drink. CB, That'a nice outcome. I hope you plan to take it out this fall.

My compliments to Chris for that beautiful (and even) contrast. The Remington B Grades had “Fine Three stripe Damascus” which Remington called Oxford 4 S.J.

CB, That'a nice outcome. I hope you plan to take it out this fall. Bill, I have shot it already, will be doing a round of sporting clays on Sunday with some other members from this site and will head west with me come October. It looks too good to leave in the safe! Needs to get out under the big sky of the western plains.

Wow. That turned out well. That is a legit restoration. C. Dawe did an outstanding job. The Damascus is fantastic. Beautiful contrast and finish. Wood looks amazing too. The case colors look “right” to me as well. It looks very regal, and not like a tarted up hussy that some other restorations seem to end up looking. Well done and congrats. I do really like Remington doubles. Very underrated.

I think the best thing I did was listen carefully to Chris’s advice, especially on the wood and chequering.
