So I finally have completed loader No. 100. Its been a 4 year road to get to this point and its been extremely fun to make all of these and talk with all of you. I have made these in several species of Maple, Walnut, Cherry and Cocobolo.  I wanted to make this one different than any other and I think I've accomplished that goal. This one is made of Leopardwood inlaid with Ebony in the compensator. The bullet markers on top are the original Aut-Ord-Co shape hand inlaid with Birdseye Maple. The Side inlays are the later Thompson Bullet hand shaped and inlaid in Birdseye Maple and further inlaid with Ebony lettering of "NO 100" Showing that you have a one of a kind loader. Also burned into the bottom is my logo the year and No 100.

Absolutely fabulous. How do you do it? Its amazing. I have one in the standard maple and not being a woodworker I marveled at the workmanship when I received it.. I will be surprised if this one goes for anything less than $500. Great work Jon.

Thanks for the encouragement and support Tiz but.... 3 days on and nothing?!?!?. What am I doing wrong here?!? To close to Christmas? Is it ugly or something?? Anybody...?

If you don't have any bids yet, maybe you should extend the auction for a few days longer.  I was surprised how short the runway was...

Thanks David. At this point I'm probably going the extend indefinitely until I get a bite of some kind...
I wasn't trying to rush anything, just kind of figured like eBay or armlist that a week was good/normal...?

So with David's comments... Should I keep the close at this Tuesday? OR extend it out to New Year's day???

[SAW23015]

THANKS!

I received Stick Loader #100 today and it is a work of art. It shows that Jon is a master woodworker for sure. It will make a great conversation piece.

 

Thanks Jon, great work.
