With the way the gun came out you could recoop the monies in no time! Id buy A gun from ya! Can you imagine how sick it would be with abalone inlay! :smt007
Dude, inlays are easy. If you have the pattern, I'll help you put it on your gun. It's probably not worth selling because I put quite a bit of time into it. But hey, I'd help you build your own. You've gotta do something in order to be able to say you built it  :smt003

Can't remember right now, but should be around 34". I made it for shooting fish hiding in holes, but I made the line double wrap to get some reach. Knowing me, I need the reach  :smt002
Btw, looks like you had many great trips recently. I wish I grow up just like you (oops, too late). You're a stud puppy.

Thanks. Yes, 50% of my parts came from NeptonicSystem. The rest were from Pursuit, AustinsDiving and Mako. I'm glad NeptonicSystem finally opened a store front. Shipping used to take forever even when I'm local.

great work.  I hear you on the off the shelf pricing.  But start making more of them and the cost reduction is real.  At least that is what I tell myself when I spend $200 on a tool for a $50 project  :smt003

but then again, its not all about money, pride is priceless  :smt001

Priceless work of art.  Great admiration for guys like you that can start a project and finish it.  I bet you can't wait to shoot your first fish with that.

That is an incredibly beautiful piece of work.
I do have one question though....why Sapporo????   :smt044 :smt044
J/K What kind of experience in woodworking do you have to come up with something like that which takes an INCREDIBLE amount of skill??
Did you fashion the handle from scratch or was it a kit?
Where did you get the parts for the gun?
Sorry for so many questions but I am in total awe of the work you did and I am always trying to learn from the best.
I hope to see that gun in person some day.
Thanks, Tote
