Really nice job on it…. For what’s only your second go’round, that’s amazing. You’re showing some hidden talents that need to be utilized more and more! You’re definitely on the right track.
Wow... Beautiful!.... what paste wax did you use.It looks good! I like the lines and also that Rupp patch box is a great fit. It reminds me of a Kibler I used for deer hinting!
I like using a paste wax finish on my guns now. It gives nice protection and can add great low-luster to a stock. This is how my similar-looking .54 looks with the wax finish over
I used Johnson’s or Minwax. Use the brown tinted (so any wax in the carvings doesn’t show up white).Wow... Beautiful!.... what paste wax did you use.
Love the beaver tails!... I was going to do beaver tails but chickened out...
Yeah... I had not cut the pins to size yet. I have made them permanent. Good idea about the mink oil.... I have some mink oil. I may try that out on some scraps.I am curious about those pins though - good idea to hold things together temporarily.
Beautiful work. I wish I had the talentSorry, not a Kibler…I enjoy building from scratch… block of wood… It takes some time, but… I’m retired . Got a shop full of tools. Enjoying the retired life!
It’s been a week since the last coat of Sutherland Wells Tung oil. I believe it’s hardened enough. Lightly polished with a buffer and old t-shirt.
But, I have a question. Should I apply some paste wax for a little gloss? And will the paste wax seal and harden the surface? Or should I leave it as is? Need some pro advice, please.
I know it’s a very dark color. But that’s my Intent…. I also plan to cover the brass with brass black, then polish it back.
Should make for a great range rifle…. Or for Deer Hunting.
Deer season will be here soon!
