I have spent about four hours so far on the new buttstock for the Baker shotgun. I chose a nice piece of Black Walnut to work with. I am using the stock from the Gold Hibbard/Belgian shotgun as a guide. I like the way that stock fits and looks.
So that was on Monday, January 2nd. A good day to start new projects! Here are the photos of what I accomplished today, January 4th. I find I work best, when starting a new project, if I spend just a couple of hours each day on it until the full picture reveals itself and I know for a fact what I am trying to accomplish.
There's some good pattern to this chunk o' wood. I think it will really pop when I get down to staining and finishing!
My basic layout seems solid. From here on, I will be taking very, very small bites out of this until I am close to what I want to see - and then, take smaller bites!
