Here’s one I just finished. Much darker than photos show. Really nice piece of wood!

Very nice work! That is a beautiful gun! Red Maple? What did you use for stain and finish?

Dane- what else can I say? VERY nicely done. Thanks for posting it.

Very well done. I like everything about that rifle.

Another nice gun out of Dane's shop. The curl on that one is very vivid.

Dane what did you use to finish the wood with? I like the way it came out very nice.

smallpatch · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2023, 04:13:01 AM »

Rifle is first stained with ferric nitrate, one additional coat of honey maple to bring a little more amber out.
About 7 coats of Chambers Oil finish.

Nicely done, Dane! I have one in walnut I just assembled, yours gives me some good ideas for decoration, especially like the hunters star in the cheek. Your carving fits the piece nicely! Best,

Ed

Thanks gang, I appreciate the kind words.
I wish you all could see this gun. The pics just don’t do it justice.

Wow! Simply beautiful!! Nice job 👍

I think I'm the only one that doesn't own a kibler gun. Of course if he'd send me a demo model I'd consider it.

alacran · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2023, 05:19:09 PM »

I don't either Mike. In fact I don't own any kit guns. Only kit guns I built was a TC back in the 70's, and a Tip Curtis kit for a friend who had it in the closet for 20 years.

Beautiful gun! Very nice work!

Very nice job. Just the right amount of everything.

Wil · « **Reply #21 on:** March 28, 2023, 10:53:49 AM »

Man, that's a pretty hunk of wood.

prairieofthedog · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2023, 06:34:07 PM »

Beautiful!

Mike Brooks · « **Reply #23 on:** March 29, 2023, 03:57:32 PM »

Still haven't received a demo gun from kibler. I'm hoping for all three models so I can evaluate them.
