    A "Class Guy" Archived Message

    Hello Boys;
    FWIW ---- About a month ago, Ken Hurst posted that he was looking for a 20 guage FW stock to use as a pattern. Happened to have one gathering dust from one of our projects past. Offered to trade him the set for his inlaying a small gold initial in a Lefever trigger guard (another old beater we are fluffing up). Done deal, he says.
    The guard came home today --- The gold initial is big and bold -- don't need the bifocals to see it -- not to mention the beautiful bank note floral covering most of the guard bow and flowing into the oval around the initial. Aint so sure the old stock was worth that much extra work on his part, but he says we're flush.
    Ken has done some cutting for us in the past, and as always I can't say enough about him, except that he is "one class guy".
    Bet that some of you folks already know that.
    Hoping this finds everyone well;
    Bill Kraft
