Here's mine by Rob, she's a shooter, as ALL my 25Y offhand groups end up being one ragged hole. I've since 'bent' the barrel to be right on ... had to add that for the nay-sayers, huzzah! She weighs only a smidgin under 6-pounds, for a 48" barrel to boot, woo hoo!

For a self-proclaimed hill billy ... he does PHENOMENAL work ... he even put the lock on the 'right' side!

Another question from a novice, sir how do you get the dark areas in the stain in the creases and edges. Those are show quality!

 

[Rob M.]

[Rob M.]

LOL !! That was kinda funny . I knew shed look a lot better after my " patina process " but I really didnt have high hopes for her ...that darn stock ! It showed some weird wavy grain a bit but not those deep crevices and such ! I was really surprised and not very optimistic about it when I saw that wood coming g out !! Even after I did my voodoo to the stock I was quite surprised it looked as good as it did !! A big ole SHEEW !!! It looked neat , almost like I intended for it to do all that ... Glad ole dude liked it so well . Pretty neat stuff ... It was funny , the comments from the folks following .The one fellow was like " oh well , you tried ..." ...another like " maybe you can re finish it ?" ...LOL !! Funny stuff !!

You've totally turned me on to cherry. It's actually the cheapest of the three, Mapel, walnut and Cherry, at Paxton hardwoods where I get wood. I just hope I can make it look half as good.

I prefer walnut but ive had some good luck with cherry . I come across it sometimes and get a good deal on 2" thick cherry and can't refuse it . If you use oil on it , it'll get very dark , use a test piece first ! , but I won't use oil finish , I dislike it for a few reasons so use varnish , traditional too. Ive had a couple cherry stocks that I liked personally but I sure prefer walnut .... I like this one I'm posting .... if it'll post !!
