  1. What a fantastic interpretation of a classic east Tennessee longrifle! I always enjoyed seeing Jim's work when he came to Friendship - if I recall correctly his booth was almost right across from Steve Davis's in the second row. (Boy - on any given day you could see some really fine contemporary southern longrifles in that aisle!. I wish they would return.)

    Jim also made a number of wide-butted early style longrifles and his metal work was always superb.

    Just a great example of all the best things that appeal to us about these guns - elegant, slender crisp architecture; really fine iron work, and a nice finish. It really captures the looks of the best of the mountain rifles and reflects the hand of someone with a strong sense of the spirit of the times and places these early Appalachian guns were made.
