I have a 40 cal rifle he made for me. His work is First rate. Ill put him up there with anyone. The thing I like best about his work is it looks like a 18th century gun. His carving and engraving is just right but not too fancy. I see alot of modern looking engraving on 18th century style guns an it just looks out of place to me but thats my opinion only an not worth even the cream in your coffee
