Another specialty of his was bluing stainless steel.
I was fortunate to own one of his 22 Magnums for a while. The work was first rate and the rifle had a match chamber and shot very well. But another #1 loonie friend talked me out of it in a weak moment. I miss it for its beauty, uniqueness and workmanship, bit not for having to pay for 22 Mag ammunition. A previous owner left the very plain wood on it, which I replaced with a figured aftermarket set.
