Izzy:
Since this is the Sabbath, do not read this until
sundown.
Rifles usually require about eight hours labor on metal work
and forty hours on the stock. The lighter calibers are usually for varmint
hunters, the medium ones for hunting the USA and Canada, and the real big ones
are most often used in Africa.
Oregon probably has the most beautiful maple wood, either
Quilted maple or fiddleback (tigerstripe).
California has the Walnut market, or at least ninety percent
of it. Out there they graft English walnut trees onto black walnut stumps
for use in english walnut groves or orchards. When these trees get too old
to produce well, or the orchard is replaced by a parking lot, the trees are
harvested , cut and cured. An Exhibition grade piece of Walnut large
enough to make a gunstock runs around three hundred dollars. That is one
of the reasons that people do not build homes out of fancy walnut.
There used to be a black lady down the road from us that made
quilts, all by hand stitching. She said she got twelve
hundred dollars for one quilt. If you do that, you may be one of the rich,
tho not likely the filthy rich.

No, I don’t nothin’ ‘bout rifles,
but it sure sounds impressive! Are they all for big game hunting, or what? How
long did it take to make them? (I always hate when they ask me that about
quilts, as no one can keep track of all those hours.) Where do you get your
woods? We have a friend who makes impressive furniture, and he would surely
appreciate your woods. Back to quiltin’! Iz

Iz, forgot to answer the
last question. Just finishing up three guns. A Ruger number one in
.458 Lott, a .460 Weatherby, and a 308Win caliber bolt gun on
a Ruger action with a multi-colored laminated stock described as desert
sunset. A little wild for my taste, but I ain't paying for
it. Next up is a Reminton 700 in .300 Win Mag on a laminated camo
stock, then a Sako on exhibition grade fiddleback walnut. Probably
none of that makes sense to you unless you know a lot more about rifles
than I do about quilts.

Terry,
Why do you think I am
unaware of Masonic rites? Who is judging whom? I’ve probably read as
much about them as you have. Haven’t participated in any though; have
you? I am also aware that lots of presidents have been Masons, from
Washington on, which tells me that a lot of good men are clueless about
what it really means. If you want to call me “ignert” because I
don’t accept unconfirmed slanderous rumors, enjoy yourself.
However, I would do the same for you.
I love a man who doesn’t
allow the dust to settle on him ahead of time. As far as George Wallace,
he was a BIT too hateful for me—but that was before I could vote. (Just
thought I’d throw that in for laughs.) Al Sharpton is George Wallace of
a different color.
What kind of rifle are you
making right now?
Izzy

If the truth were
known, probably no one is above reproach. If you want to
know the painful facts, do a search of Masonic sites. I do
not remember which one or ones bragged about it, but Bush and most
all our other prezes have been Masons. It would be hard to
be elected if one were not. If you just want to stay
blissfully ignernt, don't bother lookin' too
hard.
As to
retirement........... when I take the old dirt nap, but not until
I die or become too inept to do a quality job. I love what I
do and cannot stand to be idle.
As to your other
questions; I really liked George Wallace for president. He
was a little too liberal for me, but better than the rest I've
seen. I haven't seen anyone exciting since then. In
the last election, I voted for the guy that claimed to be a
Christian and was not a Mason. Right now, I could not even
tell you his name, tho it will come to me immediately upon sending
this missive.
What do you think of
Al Sharpton in the next one. I know he is a Democrat, but he
is also a reverend, probably above reproach.![]()

Terry,
Looks like you make
modern rifles—a very impressive craft.
(Kinda like quilting!) My ex-husband made a couple of rifles--one
Kentucky rifle and one Hawken, which I hope he leaves to our two
sons when he goes on to his eternal reward. Glad to see you aren’t
sitting around in your rocking chair, but are being a productive
citizen and Christian. And happy to know you love the rich as well
as the poor. J
Regarding GW Bush
being a Mason, I have two theories: (1) He is not a Mason. I have
yet to find credible evidence, so it is likely a smear, or (2) He
is just a Christian who has not been educated about why is it
wrong to be a Mason. I assume that everyone who has accused GW
Bush of supposedly being a Mason is personally above reproach
himself.
Izzy
PS I
eagerly await your response to my other questions.

I make custom
rifles that the average hunter or target shooter cannot
afford, www.cliftonrifles.com
. Rich guys are my bread and butter. I love them.
Long may they live!
I believe that
the Bush family is head and shoulders above the Kennedy
family,and the Barney Frank and Bob Graham families, in
honesty and in morality, and personal hygiene, and most
other stuff. I simply do not know how a Mason can
claim to be a Christian while belonging to a group that
traces it's beginning to Nimrod. 'Splain that to me
please.

Terry,
If you could
choose anyone you wanted to be President of the USA who
would it be (other than gary) ?
I was also
wondering if you could explain to me the platform of the
Libertarian Party. Do you like that party?
You also
compared the Kennedy family to the Bush family. Other
than the fact that both families are “filthy rich” and
politically influential, what similarities do you see there?
It seems to me that the Kennedy family got “filthy rich” by
doing illegal bootlegging during the Prohibition, and have
been notoriously adulterous and in many cases
criminal. It seems to me that the Bush family gained
their wealth legally, and that they are decent people
overall. I don’t understand why you would lump them together
unless you just dislike anyone who is rich and influential.
Can you explain?
Izzy
