The wood is walnut obtained off an old gunsmith friend of mine.
Tools are a combination of:
- a drop saw, to get rid bulk wood and get some nice straight cuts in places,
- round, half round and rectangle wood rasps
- orbital sander with 40 grit for peeling back layers and general shaping,
- router for inletting,
- round, half round and rectangle metal bastard files
- finer half round metal file,
- vivid pen for rough marking and to help show where the limit of one operation should end,
- pencil for finer marking,
And finally a nice easy chair to sit and ponder every step and it's general look. (I'm about to undergo surgery on my eye hence why I have an abundance of spare time!)
