Winchester model 1873
« on: September 23, 2011, 12:09:19 pm »
I'm almost finished making this project.  Thanks Steve for another great pattern.
I am using 1/4 for the inside piece but 1/8 for the two outside ones.  It is really looken cool so far.  I am pondering whither to put a stain on it or not.  Any suggestions?
I have two with the stock glued up and made pretty with the belt sander and another in the glue up process.  I need to go to ACE and get the barrels and stain them black with some stamp pad ink.
Anyone else working on these?
One is for display at the Man Cave at church, another for an avid hunter/gun guru friend and I will be making more for other friends for sure.
Thanks again Steve.
You are a champion.

Live long and.....eat sushi?

oops....didn't see the other post on this.  Yours looks great! 
I'm using some bb ply for mine.

I look forward to seeing your version.  I'm working on a second one out of walnut and poplar.
