The base is more Big Sandy though imo. Contemporary

Thanks Zuma

Yes, it is resting on a nice piece of Georgetown. I love working that stuff! In fact, I just finished this little blade up this afternoon (from a different hunk.)

You could be right on the base, but I see it as an contemporary interpretation anyway so it doesn't really matter. It is 7" X 1.5"

Gut - I believe this dove is in the 7inch range.

Post by: bjrogg on January 05, 2017, 03:37:46 pm: Thought I saw this before guess not. Really nice Scott if I try one for the POM it'll probably end up a lot shorter and no where near as nice.
