Jim’s ferric nitrate over tannic acid.
A little, basic, carving - my first attempt.

Thanks,

Nice job. I plan on building one of these in 2019.
How long was the wait time for shipping it?

[J Hollis]

I was one of the pre order folks so my wait time would be different.

It took me this long to get up the nerve to carve the stock.  Buying a practice carving stock made the difference for me.

I appreciate the kind words.

I haven’t been able to shoot it yet but should have it sighted in before the weekend is over.

Thanks

Your carving is very good and you chose very appropriate designs for that rifle.  Well done.

It would be nice to see the wood work in the tang area.  Looks great in all the pics shown. 

[J Hollis]

It’s just a simple beaver tail.  The pictures of Lowell Haarer’s rifles in the July/August edition of MUZZLELOADER was a big influence on what I was trying to do.

Thanks,

Jamey
