Oh yes, that is one sweet piece of work.

You did well!
Thank you for the kind words. I wish it turned out as I envisioned it but my skill set was not up to that level of work. I am sure yours will be excellent. I hope to see Jim's shop but the trip from NC is not a short one. I hope to go to NMLRA meet in Indiana next year maybe I can schedule a stop by Jim's on that trip.
Thank you

Beautiful. Looks like your patience paid off. What grade of maple is this?
Thank you
Yes, I plan on shooting it and hunting with it.
Not yet but I am anxious to very soon.
It is fancy. One upgrade from plain maple. Jim was very generous regarding the grain in this piece of wood. Thank you for your kind words.
Beautiful Rifle!

Mine has been completed for a couple months and I still pull it out of the case a couple of times a week just to admire it.

You have done well, Pilgrim. The rifle looks good to me. Little mistakes (big ones too) are a part of the learning process. No one is perfect.
Now, get to shooting it. Don't make it a wall hanger.

Shooting and hunting are my plans, my daddy wouldn't have it any other way.
Very well done
Thank you
