At the moment I am working on a rifle that will be stocked in cherry, the furniture is steel and will be browned. I'll make a patch box for it. I am wondering if any body has ever stained cherry to make it appear aged. I am thinking of usin Magic Maple, then burnishing with steel wool, or perhaps an acid like "Old Bones".
Also, this thing is full stocked, a small caliber (36) and I am making it with a perch-belly shape on the butt. I am thinking of putting in some carving...very light, brief and not all to deep, a few lines perhaps. As to the pattern...well...I'm not sure, but simple, organic perhaps. Any suggestions? :hmm:
