woods runner cherry,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Hatman/2nd line]

Nice job! I'm just starting on a curly maple in .54 cal. You have the fever!

Very nice job. That's the wood species and color I am looking for. I like the metal finish too...the barrel of my TC Hawken kit started out as blued 45 yrs ago but now has the same luster as your rifle's barrel. I was considering browned barrel and cherry on my next build but I like this combination. Thanks for sharing your pics and your wood finishing formula.

Thats a beauty, love color of the wood & contrast of the carving.
Will develop a nice patina over time.

i might sell this one to fund one more. this is my 6th Kibbler. no i tested the lye and didn't care for it. to me the gun is not as red as the pic show. it is beautiful, i think my next will be another SMR but in cherry,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I built a SMR in cherry. I didn’t stain the wood just letting it get darker naturally. Finished with several coats of waterlox and hung on the clothes line between coats.
