Looks great!  Tim has done a number of stocks for me and always first class. I think I have another couple about ready for him!
Beautiful wood too and especially like the left hand stock. 😄

Looks great. Can you post a picture of the rifle?

I only have profile pictures right now of it UNcheckered, but since I lost those in the hostage dual with PhotoBucket ... I'll add them below again.

That is a beautiful rifle and beautiful checkering on the butt stock and forearm.

Does he do CPA's checkering for them ?

I am in the process of buying one of their rifles from a private seller, and it is beautiful in it's own right, but doesn't hold a candle to yours.  Congratulations.

I've had Tim do at least a half-dozen guns for me. His work is always top-drawer and it's always a pleasure dealing with him. I have a Hepburn stock set that will be going to him shortly.
