What I really like is to get up early in the morning, when everything is quiet, no noise, no kids, no wife - just the cats greeting me when I go to my workshop in the barn…
The smell of freshly cut wood - teak - mahogany… This is what met me this morning - a ray of morning light across a piece that I'm working on as a surprise for a good friend…
I really appreciate these quiet mornings!
Stunning!
A lucky friend
A beautiful morning. Morning's stillness is a unique blessing
What a stunning photo.
I hope your friend does not visit these forums or your surprise is totally busted.
What a great photo, obviously no accident (a photographer as well), and great looking build. Hope to see more as the piece advances.
Very nice pic:thumbsup2: keep us posted on the gun´s advance:)
I'm quite excited today - I'm going to hand over this gun to my friend Jeppe.
He doesn´t know.
I'm always thinking improvement - what can I do better with my next build...
Better design - better build sequence - better use of materials - better weighing - better grip - better everything.
With this one, the design out performs some tube guns. I tested the percieved "swingability" against a 10 cm shorter Omer Cayman - the Omer lost...
I have used Jatoba in my laminate, instead of using lead on the final weighing and the gun has come out a tad heavy (but balanced). Still floats with the shaft out, but not the "faithful dog" by my side that I prefer. I'm thinking it will be good on drift dives over cod grounds.
I'm trying to get it as neutral as possible by using different spears, and has ended up with a Trygons 6,25mm.
The design is a kind of derivate from the Abellan, with the band rising front - and it is a sweet shooting gun - very linear recoil and no muzzle jump.
Despite it beeing a tad on the heavy side I hope that Jeppe will be pleased with it - I want to explore this design further.
My next project is my new hybrid... - I will post.
Jeppe is a luck guy :thumbsup2:
Beautiful - kudos for using small Aperature to highlight what you wanted to emphasize on the photos. Like the original - you are also a talented photographer. Your friend is fortunate.
Beautiful gun. Can I be your friend? 
I like quiet mornings too but here in Belize the sand flies chew you to pieces on those mornings. You got to get in the boat and move.....fast.
Nice 
The Lords Blessing on that gun. Great picture, good looking gun.
Thanks guys
Rarely have I ever seen a happier guy than my friend Jeppe - he was over his gun the whole weekend:D
We were on a boat trip from friday to sunday - and immediately he started raising his hit percentage, never missed a fish. Nothing better than when you believe in your gear:)
