CVA Mountain Rifle I've had for 50 years...

 

[David Austin]

Progress! This is all out of my head. I know what I want...but...Murphy.

 

[ChuckJonesWagon]

Keep at it. You will end up with what you want.

 

[David Austin]

More progress. Now I know where I went wrong...

 

[David Austin]

This is the old buttstock. This is progress

 

[David Austin]

[ChuckJonesWagon]

Looking better. Round rasp will be much better

Looking good!

Sandpaper time
Better than I thought...not as good as I wanted. Mistakes were made at the getgo. Probably look better in aqua fortis

 

[ChuckJonesWagon]

I can show you every mistake on any of my builds. You may see a few, but not all.

Because you have different wood grains you may want to research how to apply color to the final finish product. That will help make the two different woods (if I’m making sense)

 

[David Austin]

first stain closer than i expected

 

[David Austin]

Well..that's awful. I think I should see about another piece of wood.

 

[ChuckJonesWagon]

Yeah. That camera angle looks bad. There is no nose of the comb on the final product.
