Just testing my ability to recognize woodworking signatures. Is this scope from the same maker who made your 12.5"? If so, who is the woodworker?

Lee,
This one sure looks a lot like Dr. Steve Colletts scopes, but there are a few small differences. It is possible that it is one of the earlier ones of this type as it is in California and he sold quite a few that have gone to other areas.
If he did not build it, then they must have come from similiar plans or maybe even from a single scope that they saw. smile
If you look at the rocker box you can see the construction is different as is the Alt bearing.
