Gorgeous! Keep up the IG project pics
Are you going to put your initials or anything else on the grip cap? That always seems like the classiest place for such engraving. So subtle!
Man.... Awesome work.... I think you got a beautiful piece of wood too! Decide on a finish yet? The root and tung oil might be my pick as the Danish appears to mute the grain just a touch. I'm sure pictures don't do any of them justice, so really don't think you can go wrong.
I hope you don't ever sell or trade this, and it's passed down, but, just in case, can I have first right of refusal lol.
Grip looks great to me from those few pictures. I did a couple with ebony, steel, etc, at this point I think I prefer it plain wood.
Oh, and sanding down a pad entirely with grit paper by hand is crazy talk.
You will like the finished product a lot more with that NECG pad than with the open-sided, white line one.Also picked up one of their recoil pads, not sure how I feel about it yet. Looks more like a shotgun pad maybe? Lol.
Fantastic project! Thanks for documenting along the whole process.

The ebony forend and the solid black recoil bad will visually balance very well.
