"Al,
just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I am enjoying my rifle.
I've taken two more deer with it this year bringing the total to an even dozen
since I've had it. It has become my "go to" rifle, even
though I own many modern rifles. Still looks as good as the day you built it
and always draws a crowd at the range. I still marvel at your craftsmanship,
the way it fits me and the gorgeous wood. It's "squirrel rifle
accurate" and it never lets me down if I do my part. It's just
awesome! Thanks!!!"
P.S. Your site is a great resource. I've sent a bunch of my friends to it when they get to asking me about my rifle. Maybe one of them will order one from you one day.

Jim also builds a nice canoe and powder horns on his own, too.
He is craftsman himself.
