Very nice carving, your prior carving experience shows, nice gun. Out of curiosity how long have you been on this project?

That'd be impressive for a 50th build, IMHO, much less a 1st.  Hat's off to you, sir.

I really like the flow of the carving from the butt to under the cheek piece.  And the photo before staining shows the depth and contrast beautifully.  Well played.

You can see by the responses your thread has generated that your rifle is very well received, as it certainly deserves.  I wish my first one was that nice.

I'm beginning the same kit - Chambers York - right not for my first build. I probably won't be able to show it here when I'm done because yours is too nice to follow!  ;)

Well done! Thanks for sharing!

With that kind of tallent you need to build fron a plank out to the finished product. You have by far  too much skill to waste on kit,s.
