Here's some key characteristics of the hunting style Soddy Daisy rifle. Diamond shaped butt plate that carries forward through both sides of the butt all the way along the forearm. Almost everyone misses the diamond forearm. Stock has iron nitrate then orange toner then reddish brown stain. Still to go India ink rubbed back and two types of finish.

Just lovely (shucks, no heart emoji)!
Just curious to ask if you can post a photo of what it looks like from the muzzle? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that angle anywhere of the forearm before the barrel is dropped in.
Many thanks and I enjoy reading/viewing your posts.

What a lovely stock! Clean, crisp lines, excellent shaping, great finish. A delight to the eyes and the fingers!

Wow ! Amazing looking stock. Those butt plates are much thinner material than i would have thought.
