I have a Kibler Woodsrunner on order. No telling when it might get here, but I'm thinking ahead about it.
I ordered a cherry stock. I've read somewhere, perhaps here, that cherry stocks were most often made in the northeastern states, which I take to mean from New York and northward. These stocks apparently had little or no carving. Of course I might like at least a bit of carving.
What to do? Should I treat the cherry stock as a northeastern item and leave it plain, or like a Pennsylvania rifle and put a little carving on it? I seem to drag my projects out forever, therefore I'm thinking leaving it plain and just assembling the kit I'd get done faster than if I took the time to carve, but a little simple incised carving might not take to long.
What are your thoughts?
