Woodsrunner completed

[Timmit]

I mentioned on another thread that I have my Woodsrunner completed. I received requests that I post some pics of my Woodsrunner so I hope I have figured out how to do this.

I did NOT do the carving on this stock. A friend of mine, Mark Anderson, did it. He also installed the plate on the patch box. I have NO artistic ability. It is great to have friends that do for a project like this. I was fortunate enough to get one of the first 25 kits that Jim Kibler sent out, in fact this kit had the scribed number on the bottom flat of the barrel and on the parts bag as #1. Mark carved the stock very close to the carving Jim did on his bench copy of the original Woodsrunner.

Really nice, I like it.

Very nicely done ! Out of curiosity, what wood did you go with ? The Woodsrunner is looking like a well balanced rifle.

I normally don’t care for carving on a stock but that’s very tastefully done and looks great!

Very nicely done. Really like the looks of that rifle.

Very nicely done. The red tone to the stock and grey finished barrel and lock look great.

That's a beauty! I really like the color and the carving. Man I wish would have had a buddy to do the carving on mine.

How did you get the stock that deep reddish brown...D

Thanks!

Rusty, we used TransTint Dark Vintage Maple, Honey Amber, and Dk. Miss. Brown #6006 mixed until it looks right.

The wood on the stock is Jim's fancy maple grade.
