Title: One for a buddy
Post by: Crittergetter on June 14, 2016, 02:56:00 PM

After several months of tinkering around I finally finished this one for a buddy of mine. Koa and Cocobolo riser and Koa veneers from Big Jim. Sheep horn overlays. Beaver tail from Big Jim also.  Elk ivory inlay.  58" 49# @ 29 1/2". 2 piece take down.
This is KennyMs design. I'm still tweaking on my own.
