I just received this email from the man I did the stock work for. My prices just went up...

"Hi Ron,

The Winchester just arrived in the USPS JEEP. The stock is superb. I cannot believe the way you created a nimble, elegant light sporting rifle out of that huge log of Walnut I sent you. You are a pro. The finish is perfect, but not flashy and equal or better than any of my custom rifles, including Griffin & Howe, Al Biesen, Wilbur Hauck, Jaeger, Wm. Bennet, etc... Now I am afraid to let another stockmaker checker it. I will have to think about this.

Keep in touch. My wife has just retired and we hope to travel up the West Coast from San Francisco next year and I would be pleased to thank you in person and have you and your wife join us for a nice meal.

Take care of yourself and best wishes,

Angus"
