6" homebuilt refractor

Thought I would mention that my friend Matt decided to build a 6" f/15 achromat from the plans in Richard Berry's book. It has a D&G 6" lens and cell/ GSO focuser. Everything else is made from Oak or plywood.
Here's a link to a photo gallery showing construction...

That's a good looking scope. I have built a couple of wooden tube refractors and they worked quite weel. I'll bet your friend's scope with a D&G lens gives really nice views.
