Just a memory..... maybe some Bourbon involved. Your milage may vary.... cool


You are correct Rick Bowles showed a picture of the little bear bowie that I got from you to me. It was white when he was finished with it and had yellowed over time. He told me he could only scrim the paper micarta.

Good mileage keep pouring! grin
