Gary you did a great job on the refinishing and that color scheme with the darker stained wood and the light unstained wood is really a custom job. Now Stimpy is not the only one here with one of a kind color or stained stocks. It is great to see what is possible when a member thinks out of the box and allows his artistic ability to come through and show itself. Congratulations on a job very well done. How about the handling? Do you like the way the straight English style feels and comes quickly and smoothly to point? They are really great on nice light and easy handling field (hunting) shotguns. Any chance of getting a better view of the forearm also?...<><....:)

Great looking stock.  Very nice job on the two-tone finish.

Andy's work is first rate and, as Dale said, he is good people.

I can only say "ditto" to everything here. Andy has done a couple of stocks for me, but I haven't done anyting more creative than put them on guns. I like what you did!  :)

Gary, I would like to put this on my website. Click on my email logo, or the website URL on my signature line if you are interested.

That is a nice way of mixing things up, no doubt.  It would look awesome too with some checkering and the darker color in it. But I like it. It's good motivation to see other fresh ideas incorporated to our Handis.

Flitz,

That is a nice looking stock. Way to spice up the 'ol handi.
