Description: |
Jim Schoenky, in his column in the Fine Tool Journal's Fall 2008 issue, said, "To the best of my knowledge this was the only wooden stock body brace with a U. S. patent that was ever manufactured... Where his design differs from the long line of English wood brace, is the latching device, being constructed on the outside of the brace as opposed to inside the bit housing nose." |
