I met Bill through a local internet forum and followed his work through that forum for a few years. When it came time to have my 1874 Parker underlifter restored i asked Bill to do the work. You had to get the barrels in the light just right to even tell that they were damascus, there was no CCH left, the wood was almost black and the grain was very hard to see. The barrels were pitted and dented too. What Bill returned to me is a work of art. The barrels are gorgeous with the pattern in perfect contrast, no signs of pitting or dents. The CCH is wonderfully done and the colors range from vibrant blues to subtle straws. The wood is like new where the grain can be seen and appreciated and finished in a nice hand rubbed glossy finish like I wanted.
One of Bills best qualities is that he freely shares his knowledge. I have experienced this in person and also observing the number of people that came to him during the past few Southern SXS shows.
When I have another gun that needs to be restored, it will be Bill doing the work.
