Very nice. I'd consider getting one if turnaround was a month.

Hi,

just an FYI even if i was doing this full time and had nothing else in line, getting this done in ONE month is next to impossible.

Ed's carbine has about 120 hours of labor in it and about another 60-80 hours of laps time , in waiting for wood to cure and rust blue to take.

To sum it up about 200 laps hours total.

Ending in 5 weeks of effort at a full time 40h a week rate.

Thanks for all the good comments.

I hope Ed does not mind.

I like the light/natural color better than the stain job.

In fact...It looks pretty good 'smooth' too...

Eugene and I discussed stains and what I'd like - I wanted a lighter color that showed the grain. I also liked it without the checkering, but it would not have looked finished I believe

I am okay with the result

There really is no stain per say on the end product.

Just several layers of true oil.

It does make the wood appear a bit wet / darker.
But it is a natural color without any additions / alterations.
