Beautiful work. I love a French type finish on walnut which is what that looks like.

I had an Encore pistol in .260 Rem, very accurate gun. My son loved to shoot it when he was around 12/14 years old.

Finally did a handgun set for the Encore

Season passed here and I was spooked on CWD, so no beasties down.

I think you have arrived ! I sometimes miss my Contender in .375 Win. It was a hog stomper !

You've made some beautiful wood!

I'd love to see a step by step thread.

What tools do you use? How much of it is by hand? I used to be a CNC Machinist. Making a contour, outline, and cutouts would have been easy. Would be much more difficult when rasps and chisels are in hand.
