I have several of Juds guns that he made for me over 35 years ago so I thought it would be great to have a gun made by his very talented son. I've talked to Jesse by phone a couple times and told him that I'd like to have a Fusil de chasse, French Tulle. I like that style and I think it would fit my French Canadian ancestry. I talked to John Getz about making a 44" 20ga barrel...so the ball is rolling. :roll eyes

That's a good lookn fusil Ron.That will bring some turkeys home with ya.
I found that picture on line and pulled it off to show what a Tulle looks like. Jesse like his dad is an artist at engraving and carving. I'd like a little of that talent to show on the gun he builds for me. The question is, how much of his artistic ability will I be able to afford.. ;)

I've known Jud and his wife Julie for 40 years. They use to live here in Michigan before they moved to Alaska in 1985. I use to stop at Juds place every day on the way home from work. In those years from 75 to 85 Jud built some guns for me. I've got 6 flintlock long guns and 1 flint pistol with the Brennan name on them.
The Brennans had a passel of young-en's and one time some years back they came back to Michigan to visit their folks. They stopped off at our place and we had a good visit, then I suggested we go to Pizza- Hut for lunch. We all loaded in their car and ours and away we went. After lunch when we left, some of the kids wanted to ride with my wife and I so we split up and took off. We got to where we were going not far away to some other friends of Jud and Julies and the kids all bailed out and started playing in the back yard while the adults visited. Long story short when we left the Pizza Hut one of the kids was in the bath room and got left behind.. :laffing

The funny thing is, while a builder of some of the finest ML guns, I'm pretty sure Jud used a TC Hawken when shooting with our club...
Was that in NY state? I just got off the phone from talking with Jud, we were discussing the gun Jesse's going to build for me. I mentioned what you said about him shooting a TC at your club. He said the only time he ever shot a TC was when Mark Baker lived here in Michigan and Marks first gun was a TC. Jud said he shot it a couple times to help him get it sighted in. Then he said, " he must have me mixed up with someone else, I've never shot in New York state."
