Customizing the Traditions Kentucky rifle kit

[Tumbledown]

Yes....it's the old gun builders saying....if you think you have removed enough wood, remove some more as you're not done yet.

I usually go "Not enough...not quite enough...MAYBE just a bit more..." and stop right there because that's when it becomes OOPS too much!

Looks very nice! Just a suggestion....but everyone likes what they like.....but you may think about using a lighter color stain on your ramrod. Instead of matching the stock like you have done, a lighter RR gives a visual appearance of a slimmer forend.

I lighten it up from what I'd originally done, I'm going to candy cane it twisted burn to give homage to a friend who built rifles, his always had the twisted rod
