[FEATHERS]

Thanks AC,I was'nt hinting at that my friend & I know people have to make an income but the last beveler I bought from her was $15.99 & in the Tandy cattledog it was $3.99  Feathers

[Arizona Cattleman]

I know you wern't, but the offer still stands.  Which ones do you need?  

PM me and we can keep this off the thred.

[JD Alan]

Feather's, I'm willing to help with that too. Friends don't let friends pay 16 bucks for a Tandy tool!

Really nice work AC, really nice.I Think Will G would be proud of you too. JD

[FEATHERS]

Thanks AC & JD, I will check direct with Tandy in the US & see their rates I will get back to you both via PM. Feathers

AC, all I can say is you have aced it, your carving looks great and that antique gel really makes it look rich, the color is good and will look like it's been around when you get it finished.

G'Day AC,Your carving looks great & the color really sets it off.That is the background tool I need to get hold of.Feathers

[Arizona Cattleman]

Thanks DM, TW & Feathers.  By the way Feathers the backgrounder I used the most is M884, I had given you the wrong number before.  The eyes arn't what they used to be.

Howdy AC
Great job. Keep it up.
WC

[Arizona Cattleman]

Thanks WC, question pards, I have the liner glued in now, but before I start the stiching, do any of you treat the liner with anything like EEVO or gun oil to help protect the rifle when it is in the scabbard.

AC

[Gun Butcher]

AC, that is looking fantastic. You are doing a great job on that one.

I have used both EVOO or gunoil on projects in the past. Also have used Lexol. See what the other guys say about it,but I always use something.

[Wiley Desperado]

AC, your carving really looks good and the coloring is great looking forward to seeing this one finished.   I have never used gun oil so I can't say, but a light coat of EVOO rubbed in sounds like a good idea IMHO.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

AC, that is really coming along nicely. The tooling is tastful and the color is great. It'll look good when finished.
