Decided to put one of my carvings up for sale here. Carved this in 2022. I've enjoyed seeing it on shelf here, but it's time for it to find a new home. The vacant space will demand I find another log to whittle on to fill the void. The wood is mesquite, with an oil finish. It's a little over 17" tall, 9" wide and 7" deep at the base, getting thinner at the top as it was wedge cut from the log. Leans back a few degrees. Does weigh a few pounds as mesquite is a fairly dense hardwood. Deep relief with a touch of pyrography. Really like how the oil brings out the detail & grain. $1400 shipped in CONUS. If outside that area, we can see what is involved & the cost.

Decided to make a Christmas special with this. $950 shipped in conus. Would look great on any of the desks I've seen in hunters' offices; particularly those with an African feel to the room.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
