That's one for your team...very good. And thanks for the kind words.
Earl has retired or so I'm told but I was lucky enough to get one of his last customs some time ago. He was having trouble with his eyes for quite some time and I waited till he could get back to his bench. Very nice guy.
Notice the side of this stock has a yellow patch at the butt and some don't think that's good but I like the look. It's been called sap wood but the wood is dry dry dry. Would like to learn what exactly makes that different color. I would have shown the other side but today is a first for me with playing with the pictures.
