Permalyn sealer, followed by 3-4 coats of Permalyn finish.....it's a very finish...hard but easily repaired

I use the sealer on all exposed wood, barrel channel, butt , ramrod hole etc. I like many of the Laurel Mountain finishes!

Here’s a few from the past.

Who built the left hand flintlock and do you still have it or have you sold it? Thanks!

I love thedecoration. Wire inlay? Please give us a look at the whole design.

Ok, here your go....

 

[ltdann]

I find wire inlay fairly easy to do. It's not hard, just tedious. I did a TOW jaeger rifle a few years ago that was REALLY loaded with silver. As I've said, my carving looks like a rabid beaver's been after it so I go to inlay instead. As a great philosopher once said "a mans got to know his limitations"

Copehill,
I built all of those guns, most of which, were for clients. That left hand Lehigh was built for a young police officer here in Mesa, AZ.

It is beautiful. Do you build on commission?

FlintandSteel, this was built for me by Graig Osbourne, another disciple of Allan Martin. I love the swept styling of the stock, and the simplicity. Are you still building guns? Thanks.

It's an unsigned 50 cal. Builder is much better than I could do, but a couple gaps in the inletting. It's a good shooter. It goes to the woods or range more than any other.

Do you know where I can see how to do it?
