A NEW PROJECT!!!

 Some exciting times going on here! I have come into possession of an open hammer, 12 gauge Gold Hibbard branded double barrel shotgun that needs a bit of help - my favorite kind of project! I have a couple of myrtlewood blanks to work with this time. Myrtle is much easier to work with than Black Walnut, I think this will go much faster, although I will, of course, take my time and use lessons learned when getting down to the delicate work.



It's been a couple of weeks, and I have made some progress on the buttstock. It is starting to look more like the picture in my head!
   






And... she's done!

 The work on the Gold Hibbard sxs 12 gauge is 99.5 percent complete! I am still searching for a replacement for the hand made left side hamm...
