Jim,
All done with a V grove gouge? I have a few but they are all too big, I think. What size did you use, and where can I buy one?
That is a very nice job, and as someone previous said, very believable looking. Just right.
Thanks for your efforts in advancing this enjoyable hobby.
I am sure to others it is a profession, and that's great for them. But for us with limited rescources, and even less talent, it puts a great rifle in reach.
Are ya working on a fowler yet? You seem to never rest.
I used a V-gouge from a Chinese made set. I bought these a few years ago less the handles. They required finishing as well. Not the usual Chinese hand tools, but rather a fairly decent bunch of tools obviously made in a small shop at an affordable price. Think I got at least 50-75 pieces for maybe $150. If you search, you might be able to find the set. I would guess the V-tool is about 3/16" or 1/4" in size.
Yes, we're trying really hard to make a fantastic product that is at the same time affordable and able to be put together by about anyone. Even those with no experence.
I've done a little work on a fowler, but not too much. In time...
All the best,
Jim
