Gutted for you Chris,

 

Fill the holes, but not a lot you can do about the dents unless of course you want to sand the butt down till the dents go.

 

Pain in the arse, having dents in the butt

 

maybe thats why she made such a noise Who else calls theirs 'Dent's'?

Works well on long grain soft woods but not so sure it will work on tight grain beech etc ?

 

Certainly won't harm it giving it a try though

Nice one Davy

Its one of those things everyone does first off, the good thing now is that you will be able to laugh when it happens to somebody else doing it for the first time

Stop crying it's a work horse aint it

 

For the scratches get some good quality stain and emery cloths (different grades) use the cloths before staining if you need to smooth. Polish after staining. For the dents depending on what wood it is try putting a cloth in boiling water, wring then place over then dent do this a few times it may raise them out Might be wise to wear ya mum's marigolds when wringing boiling water out of a cloth :laugh:

 

Shroom

[chris strilciw 1]

Hiya Chris.

 

What a shame buddy, still, what's done is done.

 

As long as she keeps dropping bunnies etc, you can put up with a dent or two.

Bit like your gloves mate.......its a MAN'S gun now......scar's 'n all
