I just received my second set of custom furniture from Dr.Tony, WOW! Tony is like a fine wine. He just keeps getting better with time if that is possible. His detail is perfect, and his knowlege of what will look good is second to none. Time frame for a custom set is what I would expect of a Master Craftsman. His prices are outstanding. His shipping is always a perfect delivery, and the pieces are individually wraped in soft cloth to protect the finish. My fit is perfect, which is difficult at best, as I have a small grip. Measuring to the individual finger really paid off for my shooting on the range. With a superb LOP and drop, my eyes aquire the target with ease. Like the differance of using a house bowling ball vice one that was custom drilled to your hand.
This set is for my Tender, done in Fiddleback Maple, and has a walnut nose cap on the forend. The grip was offset with a walnut thumb rest and grip cap. Truly stunning. I have added both a pic of my Encore pro hunter thumb hole set in walnut as well as the pistol set.
If you are not in a hurry, and want a cusom stock or grip set, give Tony a go. You will not be disapointed.

The barter system is alive and well, but the learning curve can be painful.

Mr. Rick, I saw those stocks and love the maple. So I contacted him and now I have a classic rifle stock in maple with a walnut forend tip and grip cap on order, should be getting it in about 7-9 weeks. Sorry for copying you a bit, but that is really a nice setup you have their.

bigdave: I think that copy is the greatest form of flattery. I'm glad that you got a set from Tony. He does great work, I'm on my 4th set from him. Repeat business is also a sign of good work. Toss up a picture when your bling arrives. Best for now..
Rick

This should show the quality of the wood he uses and the detail he goes into with these stocks.

Try to keep pix between 150 and 180K, NOT MEGS. Use the "small" or thumbnail settings on your cell phone cameras.
If you can figure how to set it, Pm them to me, and I'll substitute them for these monstrocities. THINK SMALL. Cropping can help some as well.
All three approached 2 MEGS. You want .2 megs or less; .07-.18M works well.

Yeah the smallest I can get it to is .5 to .8 megs. I will try again when my wife gets back in town with her IPhone.
