Hei Runar:  I'm sure glad that Rolf encouraged you to join our group.  Other than being really impressed with your work, I am always learning a lot from you techniques.  Til lykke.

Runar, I like the way your photos show the rough-and-tumble of gun building. It reassures me to see photos of the roughing out of a stock. So many times photos show a plank bandsawn to shape, and the next thing you see is a stock completed and in-the-white. There's an honest quality to your photo journalism that I really like.

I completely agree, Kermit. These pictures reflects the everyday life in a shop. More days with bread and beans than roast and gravy. Truly inspiring for a mere novice.

Runastav:  It's been fun following your build.  Thanks for taking the time to document it with photography, and for sharing it with us.
