Yeah, not a chance in hell. I should have said I’m trying to channel some of his talent.

Absolutely nothing wrong with giving it your best..

Well Josh maybe we will be finishing stocks at the same time. I’ve got one in the works. Had this stock for sale that I cut last week and liked it so muck I’m keeping it.
Did the inletting today and will make pillars and bed tomorrow.
Haven’t decided on dye yet, but will get something interesting..

I’m taking a run at Bc’z’s business! Starting with rattlecan John Deere green. A kid wants a green gun for Christmas. The cartridge is 225 Winchester. I had to look it up. Performs like a 22-250. Neat cartridge fading into history.
Going to start making some wood chips soon, now that I’m settled in.

Me as well, its definitely has plenty of contrast. Was just wanting to tone the maple a little with a very light tan, nothing heavy.
Will play it by ear and see what comes of it..
Really appreciate the input.. thanks..
