Yeah, that jag was just to sexy to leave in a bag... I used this to finish it... That "tru oil" is some amazing stuff! and I have always used pencil lead to darken my negative spaces in all my wood working. I discovered the technique and effect many years ago. The lead totally mixes, spreads...

Finished.... Taaa Daaa! Aprintence Builder did the amazing etching on the star.

I still have my practice block. But it is Hollywood... I can still run some stain over it first.

uuuugh... I am soo confused... This look like a deep rabbit hole... Do I really need buy all these tools for JUST ONE STAR? You have these tools already and unlike me, you also have a clue how to use them... The larger star blank is $3 and the engraving is all straight lines. How much would...

The cows knee is a super simple project. I may just do that too for fun. Did they cover the barrel end with something like a leather sock with a drawstring as well??? In the Army on patrol we used a condom tied with a string...

Thanks! I really appreciate yall's help here... After this kind of woodwork I did, I really need to protect my rifle... And yes, If there is zero examples out there, I will, because I must make something to do the job. Even if it is a "time traveling witch's" a buckskin scabbard, if I have too...
