B.P.R 2,798 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Decided to make a few naturals over the festive period... Free and easy to acquire ... Left the bark on this one... and went to work. Its whats called...a 'ring shooter' .... looped tubes attach quickly to the rings on the top.. and can be changed supet quick... Its just started a 12 hour bath in boiled linseed oil... But you get the idea... I also started another natural... with micarta fork tips...and an elm cap on the bottom. Taking the wrap and tuck method to a whole new level ... Glues drying in position overnight and will be sanded down to shape tomorrow. To achieve the straight cut using hand tools... I jist clamped a piece of sandpaper to a straight edge...in this case a piece of multiplex... and sand the cut straight... Keeps the join good ... The micarta then goes onto this. Getting a straight edge- Will keep you updated. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
