Now to tell ya the back story - Lil Mikey - well.....he looks and smells like a sow's ear - so he likes to champion making silk purses outta sows ears (he's tried to get someone to remake him into sumthin purdy - but everybody says "impossible" or sumthin like that). It would hurt his feelings iff'n it wasn't true.
On a recent antique buying outing a hog butt ugly shotgun was bought for $50.00. Do not remember make, but it is single shot break action. Now Lil Mikey found he has a little empathy because it seemed so lonely and abandoned and overlooked by people looking for purdy! He thought he could make sumthin purdy outta it - yeh know - put a new dress on it, some lipstick and a new hairdo. With just a little TLC she might be purdy - at least to Lil Mikey.
So he is on the lookout for a new dress for her - sumthin real purdy - sumthin that would make Cousin Eddie to exclaim "Real Nice Clark.....errr....Lil Mikey!" He thinks she would look real nice in a little black dress, but better in some sort of dark frilly, feathery, curly wood. He likes Claro, but would entertain other choices. Need two pieces - fore arm blank needs to be at least 8" long, 1 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall. The butt piece, minimum 12 1/2" long, 1 3/4" wide, and 6" tall (maybe bigger - haven't decided yet) There will be some steel engraving involved and possibly some deep steel carving and inlay.
