    Faux tiger stripe

    I have done this method. It really looks great. Have to be careful not to char the stock though. It doesn't take much heat

    How to apply fake striping

    I did a faux stripped a stock using copper wire. I wrapped stripped electrical wire tightly around the stock varying the spacing. I then took a plumbers torch and ran the flame all over. Scorched in some areas. Again vary the flame. Let cool. Pull the wire off stain and apply the finnish of...

    Kibler colonial rifle kit

    My Kibler .54 colonial kit I put together back in July of 2018. Cold blued the barrel, rubbed it back, oiled and just let it wear. The lock was cleaned up and left in the white. The stock was treated with tannic acid and 2 Coats of iron nitrate. I then applied numerous coats of Tru oil. I...

    can this be fixed?

    Just a follow up. I bedded the tang, breech and 6" under the barrel in front of the breech. I also glassed over where the crack was on the inside of the lock as well. Pulled it all apart this morning. I had to do a little inlet work for the lock where I had applied the acraglass. With the...

    I feel confident. My past experiences with titebond helps that confidence. Combine that with th glass bdding and I do think it will be okay.

    can this be fixed?

    So I pulled the lock, barrel, sideplate and trigger guard. The forward part of the trigger guard that sits on the stock was slightly bent. The crack extended thru the side plate. The tang bolt had bent slightly and it was not bent before. As I said everything bolted up as it should. It...

    can this be fixed?

    The grey stuff in the inlet is flat black. I tried mike brooks method of aging a stock. I am torn on the titebond or epoxy. I use titebond everyday. I know what a pain it is to try to take a glued up cabinet apart. It doesnt. The wood gives before the joint ever does. I havent shot it...

    Rope Burn

    I have tried painting and the rope burn. This method is the best looking in my opinion. Do it before you stain. I use bare coper wire from romex.(14 gauge?) Wrap it around the stock about 1/8"-1/4" apart. It can vary. Then take a plumbers torch adjust the flame to low and play it around...

    Faux Figure

    I have tried different ways of painting stripes but was never satisfied. This looks the best.

    Faux Figure

    Take a 3' piece of bare copper wire. The gauge you use for house wiring. Wrap it around the stock. Keep the wire about a pencil width apart or so. Random looks better here. Now take a plumbers torch and set the flame low. Play it over the wire and just char the wood. It doesnt take long so...
