Runar,

Beautiful work. How did you blend the finish on the new wood to match the old wood?

Regards,
Paul

Really credible work Runar.  That's a nice collection of horse pistols.

Very nice job...you repaired what was needed, without destroying the integrity of the piece. Marvelous job matching/blending the new with the old. I love it!

Runer, wonderful work.  I suggest you peen the top of the breechplug tang and move that metal back where someone has tried to remove the breech plug.  Fairly easy job and makes things look much nicer.  I really enjoy your posts.  By the way, I am restoring at present a nice English flintlock pistol.  Am enjoying the work a lot, but I am not brave enough to post pictures.  Keep up the good work.  I always look forward to following you along.  I learn a lot from your talents.  Wormey
