Figured Cherry Stockwood
« on: May 05, 2020, 09:17:02 PM »
I am just finishing a rifle with wood supplied by Tom Fornicola and a stain formula (lye) by Mitch Yates. Thanks guys!
Love the color. Rice A weight .50 caliber, Chambers lock, 5/16 ramrod, slim, light, well balanced.

A weight .50 eh? A little whippy?   I'll give you a dollar if you have another blank of that cherry you'd like to sell.

I will raise Mike and bid $2.

That is about the loveliest piece of cherry I've seen in a good while.

Every rifle I've been building lately has been C weight, needed to get back to slim for a while. Tom probably has another plank like this ;)

Kevin, Beautiful rifle and workmanship. I really enjoy seeing what the stock wood looks like when finished. Everything we talked about. Tom
