Marlin 39-A

[WoodsDigger]

With the forend completely finished I’m working on the butt. All the sanding is finished and this is what it looks like wet with the second coat of truoil. It will be completely finished and on the gun this week hopefully. View attachment 2176241View attachment 2176242

After it cures for a while it will be ready to carve. I’m think of doing a similar pattern as this.View attachment 2176243

I did some fish scales on this hammer handle I made. It provides the best grip ever. Far better than standard checkering. I’ve been carving wood since ‘11 so this oak leaf and scale pattern won’t be a problem.View attachment 2176244

What year was that one sir ?
