I really like the looks of how you rounded the edges of the back in the handle area, those layers of wood make a nice contrast with the skin.  Beauty!

Yes it's a David Knight blank.  From the TN Classic and his class this year.  I spoke with David yesterday via phone and he's gonna do another class this next Classic.  I plan to do another one then also.  It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot.

Can't wait to see ya again Bear!  Shooting, food, and friends, great times, and memories to last a life time.

Awesome, Jon.  Excellent in all respects--tiller, tips, backing, customized sight window.  Smooth, balanced.  Incredible workmanship.  One of the best I've seen on PA in years.  Congratulations.
