I visited Jud just after Christmas and found him hard at work on a new "entry level" (which in Jud-speak means elegant and beautiful but with a Siler Lock) Poor Boy rifle which he proposes to sell for $4500 - a bargain! It features raised carving, a poured pewter forend, and a fancy sliding wooden patchbox. Part of the charm of this piece is the exemplary curly maple stock wood.
Pictures of the rifle, still in the white, follow:
