Late Spring Project:

A French Dragoon pistol for William Shipman of Maryland.  Walnut stocked brass mounted from an MBS kit.  I stained the walnut with LMF Maple to get some red in it and sealed the pores with Chambers Stock Filler.  I am in the process of building up a finish with my own oil varnish.  It has 3 coats and looks like at least 3 maybe 4 or 5 more very thin coats, rubbed with pumice in between.  I wanted to get some pictures out to Mr. Shipman and am sharing them here also.
