A Parker Pedicure
I was speaking earlier today with “Mr. Timberluxe” Brian Board about stock work and checkering and repairs and stuff.
We got to talking about stock repairs and how some repairs can be just about invisible with expert workmanship and the correct finish so that it looks original. Brian mentioned a toe repair he did recently and finished it with just plain Timberluxe and a bit of pigment and sent me a few pictures. That piece of wood beside the stock is what was originally the toe of the stock. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it.
Nice work Brian!
