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.
