Hello BullShooter,

I think you are correct. I also found a reference to a Shaw from California, from back in the late 60's, or early 70's.

However, when I compare the basket weave carving on this stock, to that on my Winslows, its a dead ringer, right down to the empty acorn pods. I'm thinking perhaps the screw-bean mesquite stock blank came from Shaw in California, but the carving is definitely Nils' handy work.


You never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early.
