Somebody sent me a No. 1

1st coat of oil sanded in. It's pretty dark now but the character will really start showing with additional coats.

Looks beautiful. What oil are you using?

 

[Salmonchaser]

I’m about ready to box all mine up and send them to you. Looks great.

Thank you. I'm using danish oil for the fill work and Timberluxe over the top to build depth.

I didn't get much for photos but I dovetailed the barrel, made the mounting stud, and escutcheon. I had purchased pre-made parts when I picked up the stock but ended up opting for stainless so the machines got to cut some metal.

Got the 1st coat sanded into the forend and the 2nd on the butt. The cool thing about an oil finish is you can see the depth grow with each coat.

Stunning metamorphosis Paul, and lovely cap/escutcheon marriage.

Wow, that wood is amazing. You've done amazing so far. Enjoying following along.

I know you have a thread about a mountain rifle going and I’m very interested to see how they turn out. With skills like this I think we may also need a wood stocked option

Building topcoat now.

That is going to be beautiful. Is @noharleyyet keeping the OEM plywood stock to put back on to actually go hunting?

Not unless he chops the forend to clear the sling band...

Get the Dremel out!

No way, that rifle deserves to be photographed laying across a big 6x6!

Pleezzzee put a decent recoil pad on this one and not just a hard core butt plate!!!!!

Posting pictures of thoroughly oiled, rubbed, and buffed wood - what’s next, an Only Fans account?

Call it @p_ham After Dark.
