I heard of a black walnut tree that has been laying on the ground for a while. It might be rotton but hopefully I can get some quarter sawn blanks from it. Any other tips if I'm able to salvage this tree??? Thanks for all the replys.
Oh man a couple of years?? That sucks. Can I speed the process up? I just read somewhere that kiln wood sucks so I'm scared to do that. I'm gonna cut about 8 more blanks which I don't care to wait on. I just wanted to do one now.
That blank is 32 x 7.25 x 3.25
My buddy cut down a black walnut tree last summer and still has a few big logs left. I am going to try and make a stock from one of the pieces we cut. Below is a picture of a piece. I have seen these on other sites from $40 to like $800 plus! Not sure why some are so expensive. My question...
Can anyone tell me what I just bought for $100?
On the top of the barrel it says:
Smith and wesson Springfield mass u.s.a. Pat'd Jan 17
24 65 july 11 65 aug 24 69 July 25 71 may 11 1880
The guy said it was a 38 sw. Its top break single action and a stub trigger like a naa revolver...
so is steel wool good for anything firearm related?
I dont want too shiny of a finish, but the gun looks like its been sitting in the rain for a few weeks. I think I'll try the bronze brush and go from there.
Maybe you guys have done this before. I just put some flitz and 0000 steel wool to a stainless rifle and it looks great. I heard that if you use steel wool it will cause the rifle to rust. I was gonna clean it with gunscrubber and put some sheath on it when I'm done, but I just dont want to...
The colt says on the side plate: Colt Pt F A Mfg Co. Cant find any marking on the barrel.
The whole gun is fairly pitted
The Parker says on the side plate: Parker and what appears to be a little flower engraved in the side plate. It is in decent shape except for that big long rust spot...
