Sweet jeebus thats a nice piece.

Butch, you continue to get better and better. This is one class product that would look good in the hand of a millionaire staying at his hunting cabin with private airstrip.
Sometimes it's what's not there more than what is. The wood looks exceptional. No un needed clutter, everything sleek as it should be but with warmth. Very cool!
