This is the latest Tennessee rifle I finished. It has a unique piece of black walnut as it was fiddleback from tip to tip. To this day it amazes me how you start with such a large blank & end up with such a slim rifle. I look at it now & think "Dang, I should have gotten 2 rifles out of that big blank " !!
