I made the rear sight. I ran across a neat looking rear sight in Dennis' book and went by it.

Yep, you were able to get really good color out of that stock.  As for making the rear sight, kudos to you, they aren’t that hard to make, just hard to hold onto while making them!

Nice lizard. I believe that is a blue tail skank and they have them in Illinois, at least the southern parts.

Is that a blunderbuss in the photo?

 Don't know what you've got on there but the finish process is looking great. Can't wait to see how it comes out. Nice work.

Tim. It is the method Jim Kibler shows in his youtube videos. Tannic acid then iron nitrate, rubbed back.

Once you get the dovetails cut, it’s easy to hold on to.
