Presentation Case for An Old Colt

[doc540]

A lifelong friend made a presentation case for me from Brazilian "Goncolo Alves".

Lifelong friends are really a treasure.

The woodwork is awesome.

I wanna know how you keep all the bullets standing up when you close the box and move it.

Here's a side view that shows the "Grecian motif".

Now the house has a "motif" in it.

Beautiful work there. I've worked with alot of tropical exotic hardwoods and that is one I haven't. Gonna have to find some now. Is that stained?

Thanks, he's a master cabinet maker and does some fantastic work in custom homes around the Sandy Ego area.

No, it's just finished in a semi-gloss lacquer.

He's sending me enough of the same wood (which he's had stashed in his shop for 30+ years) to have some matching 1911 stocks made.

Now I just need to find someone to make them without breaking the bank.
