Takes a special eye to pull that off. Love both of them. Lines are very crisp & uniform. Only the best can mirror image contour lines like that. Thanks.

Etc? I'd be guessing DE on the first rifle and DW on the second. You nailed it, James. The first is an Echols Classic, built on a 1909 and completed in 1995. It is chambered in .270 Winchester and was the first rifle that he used his aluminum I-beam forend on. I bought it from the original owner about 18 months ago. The second rifle is a .300 H&H, also built on a 1909, by Duane Wiebe. I commissioned this rifle myself and Duane finished it about 3 years ago.

If you ever have a lapse of better judgement and wish to sell either, please keep me in mind

I've noticed about myself, for most of my life I preferred the highly figured black walnut over english walnut, but now in my 70's I've completely switched to more enjoy the color swirls and water marks in the english walnut.
