  1. When we are fortunate enough to see any of John Bivins work- it makes you re-afirmed that he was a one of the best Craftsman that ever lived. He will be missed for a long time. I love to see any of his works. R. S. Boyleston

    1. I'm replying to this comment. Because I have a birdhouse on the bottom it states it is built by R. S. Boyleston. I'm trying to find out more information about it.

  3. You people, who have any of Johns work. And the ability, to post, should do so. He made about 200 guns, and I'm sure. A large percentage of the membership. Would be interested, in at least having a display, of his works. Say perhaps 10-20 examples, running through his life's work. At the annual meeting in Lexington.
