You're doing really well for someone who thought they'd fuck it up! I do love macrocarpa, I bet your shed smells great now! Are you working off a plan or just sort of winging it?

Winging the shit out of it so far!
Can't take all the credit this legends helped heaps. His 3-7min videos are just long enough for my attention span

Not trying to be mean Toby but what about grab another hunk of macra and do the inlet first.
What's his name? I might have to give this a go when I get my workbench set up. The stock on my American doesn't exactly scream "lovely homemade stock".
This is the test stock, I will redo one in walnut hopefully.

I'll defiantly be remaking a stock out of walnut or something later for this gun but this stock has taught me what not too do and that is rush
Edit: anyone have brown die for bedding I can use? @Pointer is giving me some bedding stuff just need to brown die for it cheers
You bloody keep up the defiance. Im sure people will submit eventually. BTW I used black oxide powder in the bedding compound but you probably dont have much lying around.
@nevereadyfreddy. Use the emoticons mate, or it just sounds like you are having a sly dig at Toby`s typo. ;):)
I didn't even get what he meant. I googled defiance cause I thought that it meant bad and it came up with disobedience or something so I left it, fuck knows what he was talking about I thought
Sorry mate. got a bit carried away
Toby there's a place called Moxons timbers just up the rod from me, he sells exotic timber, let me know if you want list/ prices
Toby Moxons have some dry 2" American Walnut in stock FYI
+ 1 they hooked me up with plenty of natives for the houseQuote:

So I stopped wasting any more time on it and gave it an coat to see what the color would have been like. I reckon it would have looked rather nice if it was finished sanded properly and wasn't cracked.
