lancaster almost finished
« on: July 25, 2014, 09:33:27 PM »
This has been a very fun project, and it's nearing completion. i need only to turn 3 bolts/screws down to get a better fit on the rifle~then she's done, and waiting on the return of the parts being engraved. Fred, i took some angle shots of the tang radius, as Tip described to me....I like the blend of surfaces with a ever so slight end-of-tang radius~but you have to be careful to watch how it's done...or it will wreck your tang carving...most of Tips isn't carved! :hmm:
anyhow...the RR tip is from Cabin creek~ they do great work!...i will buy more!!
K'do's again from me to Dave, Charles, and Dunlaps woods....and the advice/criticisms that have helped me do a better job~ :grin:
   


 
  

as you read this...there are 2 stocks at Jacobs....getting bandsawed to profile for KY Barrens flinters... :surrender: ...I  CAN'T  STOP  MYSELF................. :youcrazy:
