Never really counted them, but at least 15 coats a month for 2 months usually has them about the way I like them...

Yes, it needs the sling stud hole tended too, it's off enough to notice.
I'll put a walnut inlay into it and go from there..

Preacher truly is an old school craftsman in every sense of the word. I would have to think people with his skill are a diminishing breed.

WOW just WOW !!!

The figure in that wood is fantastic.
The color is full of richness.
I can't see how you could improve on it.
What caliber and where did you get the wood ?
