Stock almost done

[user 52142]

1st kit build, have the stock almost done. Still needs some rubbing with rotten stone and buffed. Wanted a hunting rifle, going to be used alot. So nothing real fancy.

creative work on the wire and inlay. You will be happy with that one.

So if youre building a hunting rifle, why would you go through the process of polishing the finish with rottenstone?

That looks awesome!!

 

[user 52142]

Mainly out of habit. I've done it on all the stocks I've built over the years.

Hey poker, mainly out of habit. I've done it to every stock I've built over the years.

It looks really nice, but what do you do about the first scratch? Or dont you get any of those?

I plan on getting lots of scratches, but at least with an oil finish, they will buff out easily.

What kind of material are you using for the wire inlays?
Looks great!

That is .008 German Silver Flat Wire. It's harder and wont tarnish like pure silver.

I really like the wire in-lays, you did good!

Thanks Hatman, I'm already thinking of what to do on the next one. This is addictive

Nice! The inlay is simple and well done. I like it.

Polished my hunting rifle with rottenstone too. I like the subdued look to the shine.
