Update on the cherry jaeger

[rchas]

Just a couple of shots to show the finished stock. I used cabinet scrapers and a minimal amount of sand paper. I did use some cherry stain as I don't have the patience for it to darken naturally! I'm ok with the carving even though there are plenty of mistakes. I can't seem to do a smooth curve--or a straight line, for that matter! I will start draw filing the barrel and lock this weekend.

Looking good. Never done a cherry stock but have worked a lot of cherry over the years, floors, furniture, millwork. It don't take as long as you think or darken, just needs sunlight. I do love the carving too.

I never built a gun or did any carving so i’m no expert but i will say...it looks good to me and you did a nice job

That is going to be real purty when finished!

I think it looks great keep up the good work! I just started a Jaeger where did you get your trigger guard?

Mike, I got it from Track of the Wolf. It's listed as TG-JAEG-22-B.

Very nicely done. Looks very nice and can't wait to see finished work.

Every time I check Track they are out of stock of that particular guard.
