Hi Bill
After seeing that picture and pictures of the others, I now have a new dilemma -- a Bill Rooks musket or new ceilings! I would love for my first musket to be something that gorgeous (not that I want a whopping great killdeer or billdeer or Sarahdeer, but a nice ordinary Brown Bess). Ohmygod, it's time to buy lottery tickets!! The ceilings are peeling away but I need a musket!
Heavy sigh... But then, I have this English Trader friend, and maybe he can work a deal. We'll have to tuak (as they say here in Noo Yuawk). ;>))
Gorgeous work!
Cheers,
