I've just finished the last last of four, more or less identical pistols. This one is mine and plan to case it in cherry. You have seen pictures of the first two. I hope I'm not boring you. I'm posting pictures of this pistol to get critiques and comments to improve my work.
The inspiration for the pistols was this one, made by Herschel House.
The one below is my attempt. 15" custom made barrel from Rayel, small siler lock, stump cut curly maple blank. All the rest made from scratch.
All steel parts rust blued with home made nieder solution. Stock stained with vinegaroon and finish with BLO with lead white as dryer.
Best regards
Rolf
