Wow! I was speechless!

I saw my artillery in progress at Thor's over the weekend, and I was dumbfounded! SPEECHLESS, which is a rare occurence for me! It was beautiful. The man is an artist!

My fiancee had wanted to take a long weekend Albuquerque to see the balloon festival. I had an ulterior motive, to meet Ted Green in person and I was lucky enough so that our trip corresponded with his work on my 1915 arty. Wow, was I stunned. I had found the gun in a gunshop in Austin earlier this year, and she was down to white steel, except where some bozo had tried to cold blue the barrel, and it looked like a camo pattern. Tom Heller put in a new breechblock and installed a new barrel, and Ted has made her into a beauty. The blue is deep and rich, and the strawing looks like fine gold jewelry.

I'm already talking to Ted about our next "project," and I predict that his work will be valuable someday as collectors's items.
