    Woodsrunner!

    I watched that sand-along video several times as I worked on my Woodsrunner. I also viewed his various finishing technique videos several times. In one of his videos, he goes over finishing with Iron Nitrate and Tannic Acid. I followed that one fairly closely but without adding any dyes...

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit

    Some inspiration. First shot out of my Woodsrunner today.

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit

    That Deee-Lux English style is what I picked up. Works great.

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit

    Yeah, I tend to go full steam when I latch on to something. Let’s not discuss my recent foray into retro ARs.

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit

    Also, my Woodsrunners snapped together like legos. No chiseling or drilling required in my case.

    My first flintlock - Kibler WoodsRunner kit

    I pick up tools and such from Track of the Wolf - mainspring vise, jags, etc. Various Bahco files from Kibler and Amazon. Dovetail file from Brownells (two safe sides, one fine). Tried & True varnish oil from Amazon. Iron Nitrate from Kibler. Tannic acid powder from Amazon. Jax brown...

    Kibler's Hunting Pouch

    I'm in agreement that there's not $155 in material in that kit... for ME. I'm not inexperienced in leatherworking and can draw up my own designs and patterns or deduce details from images or videos I might be working off of, and I've got the tools and supplies and experience accumulated over...

    Finished My Woodsrunner (Sort of)

    Nice work. Different than most, yet still quite fitting. Great detail pics, as well. Definitely adding these to my carving library.

    Woodsrunner barrel coloring

    Oxpho blue is pretty easy to remove. It's far from a durable finish. I'd guess most folks who are using it (myself included) are doing so to get the look of a patina or French gray. If you'll note the fowler pictured a few posts up that's finished with Oxpho blue and mostly rubbed back, it...

    Yet Another Kibler Woodsrunner

    Thanks, all. I've got a .54 Woodsrunner in Walnut in the works, but it'll be a bit more of a long-term cool weather project since I want to try my hand at relief carving. I've had the design laid out on the practice stock for a few weeks staring at it and making tweaks here and there, but it's...

    kings mountain rifles

    As long as the thread has been brought back up, thought I'd say howdy to my cousins out there. My 6-G grandfather is John Sevier, and my 5-G grandfather is James who was 16 when he partied with his dad at Kings Mountain.

    I'd pin it and move on.

    Started My Woodsrunner

    Yeah, that's kind of how I am. More than one way to skin a cat. Regarding sanding grits, I recommend following Jim's recommendations of 150/220/320, or at least somewhere around there. There are some fine CNC machining marks in that wood that may not look like much unfinished, but they'll...

    Started My Woodsrunner

    I'm working on a walnut Woodsrunner, as well. I'm following the process described in Jim's sand-along video as I did with my previous maple Woodsrunner. I've gone to 320 and whiskered twice with 320 and maroon ScotchBright and will leave it there until carving is done, then I'll see what's...

    Looks to me like a Green River Skinner.

    Rookie Woodsrunner build

    Nice "snap-together". 😆 I really like the color and how the brass turned out. Point of note: If you're thinking of the same video as I am, Jim actually uses Tried & True Varnish Oil, not Tru-Oil. Two very different products.

    Tannic Acid > Iron Nitrate > Tannic Acid > Iron Nitrate > Blush > Tried & True cut w/Turpentine scrubbed in w/maroon scotch-bright, plus additional coats of straight T&T. Ended up with a total of 5 or 6 coats, I believe. I lost track. Pics in the original post are with two or three coats, if...

    Yet Another Kibler Woodsrunner

    I opted for the mid-grade "fancy". I'm no maple expert, and I was really questioning just how fancy this was and wasn't too impressed as I was going through the sanding process. Wetting it down through the whiskering process gave me somewhat of an idea that it would be okay but didn't quite...

    Yet Another Kibler Woodsrunner

    Thank you for the validation, and thank you for all the videos. I simply followed your iron nitrate with tannic acid video to yield these results. I wasn't so crazy about this "fancy" grade piece of wood through the assembly process, but that all changed after getting it all finished. I...
