greetings all!
i screwed my courage to the sticking point and plonked down my hard earned, over- taxed and God- entrusted dollars for a Kibler SMR. (not that i'm grousing about the price - it's worth every penny!)
here's the problem ...
i am considering making the toe plate from a bit of cow horn left over from another project, and putting another inlet into that (elk antler - also from another project). The stock is figured ash, and i will most likely be using tried&true for a final finish, with a coat of butchers' wax.
am i getting way out of PC/HC territory here, or is this a reasonable embellishment for the period?
Thanks for any assistance of advice
