Freya the fowler is finished
« on: February 04, 2025, 09:09:17 PM »
My Kibler Fowler, 20 gauge American Black Walnut stock.
Stock dyed with LMF Cherry stain, 4 coats Danish oil and on top of that 2 coats of tung oil
Lock finished with Birchwood Casey blue
Barrel (finally) finished, using American Rust Blue from rustblue.com
Modest side plate engraving by Mike Brooks
I put a horn tip on ram rod.
As usual, Jim's kit assembled with practically zero work.
Anxious to do some patterning, turkey season a couple months or so away.
