Carving
Some shots of hand carving I've been working on. Started out as CNC incised carving on the Woodsrunner kit.
I've been really busy lately but did manage to get the SMR together in the white and ready to shoot. I am amazed out how slim and graceful the gun feels in the hand. Assembly was very easy, no problems. The fit is perfect everywhere. Just found time today to take it to the range. I am using a .390 round ball and pillow ticking patch, this makes for a very easy loading combo. No short starter needed. First 6 shots with 40 grains of 3 F made an open group at 25 yards. I upped the charge to 50 grains and shot a couple of 3 shot groups that were almost one ragged hole. I think this will work out to be a great light weight, accurate rifle. Very pleased. Can't wait to see how the extra fancy maple finishes out.
I love to practice carving and different finishing techniques without the chance of ruining my stock.
I only wish there were more available to experiment on.
I have tried several brands over the years, but this for sure is the one I like best. Color for me was perfect on maple !
Works great a little goes a long way.
