Oh you and I would get along quite well. LOVE the curly maple!!! The walnut with it is amazing. Very nice!!!!

One of my favourite hardwoods but not when it comes to working on. Chips very easily.

Amazing woodworking... don' worry about the knot; that's one way to prove its not a mass produced piece and makes it truly one of a kind. What kind of tools do you need to do something like this? Would assume a table saw, band saw, router and a ton of various sanding and chiseling tools?

[htechwerks]

I guess all you need is patience and something to cut wood straight. Router for the mating surfaces especially the rounded joints and wood rasps and files. I used a vertical mill to inlet the action and barrel channel but it is not necessary. It helps though to speed up the process but I have done it with chisels and gouges before with success.. Just alot of patience.

If one doesn't have a vertical mill probably could use a drill press with forstner bits... get nice flat bottomed holes bored out then chisel out the rest... regardless amazing woodworking and great finished product

[htechwerks]

Thanks. That's what I do even with a mill. Drill holes with forstner bits first to get most of the waste material out then clean it with an endmill. Much efficient and safer that way.

htechwerk, I know I'm late to this party, but WOW. You sir, have some very serious machining and woodworking skills. I like to work on firearms but do not have the skills you displayed. Take care, John.:(
