Fantastic work, David, you are a true craftsman, artist and gentleman. I'm proud to know you! Henry will love it and think of you when he shows it off.

Very nice color case hardening...that's not easy to do AND prevent warping it. Did you block it while it was in the embers ? I think that is a must. I've seen some pretty work from some guys in Cody (Ballard) and Turnbull, of course but this is easily as good.

This was done by Turnbull. I do not have the knowledge, skill or resources to do case hardening. I sublet stuff like that.

I had some Ruger Vaquero frames done by Turnbull and they were not nearly that nice for some reason...not much contrast. I sent them back and 'the man' himself redid them...better but not wonderful...dunno why. Still in the safe but I shoot them a few times a year.

I'm totally happy with his work here. I guess you get what you pay for.

I'm sure it does, along with the composition of the steel itself. These things are like snowflakes, no two are alike.
