Hi all and Happy New Year!
Having finished my new gun over christmas I thought i would show you how it came out.
The gun is a 90cm (bandstretch) euro, made of 3 vertical lams sapele/teak/sapele.
I have quarter sawn the sapele to really bring out the shimmer in this beautiful wood.
My other guns have a tung oil finish, but this one is finished with 8 layers of Le Tonkinois varnish - too bad we can not get Phils clear epoxy here in Denmark.
I have long wanted to make a trigger guard out of wood to make the guard and handle sort of "flow together" and I think it came out fine.
It has not been fired yet, looking forward to that.
Hope you like it...

Very nice looking gun Henrik! Superb lines and finish. The handle/trigger guard is simply beautiful, especially with the integrated "loading pad"!

Dan

Beautiful, slick.

The finish is very nice. It was sprayed on right?

No Dan, I brushed it on, being very careful only to brush in one direction and with long strokes.
Le Tonkinois is quite thin, and runs together beautifully.
