The stock is a little rough I'll confess, but I was really trying to to convey kind of a real primitive feel, something so earthy that you'd swear it grew out of the ground. I have been making more of these undecorated guns lately, and strangely enough as each one becomes simpler it becomes more complex to make. The moss alone took me several months to make and put in place. I think see now that it's the techniques I must simplify, and the results I am looking for may follow. Maybe try piling some wood and nails on the floor and set it on fire, see what happens.
So yes, this new gun is an overworked mess, I'll admit it. It's not the easisest thing to shoulder either.
Greg There's no Golden Mean violation, you have to set the dividers in the right spot to start. Keep flipping man, you'll find it.
