Default Wrist checkering

Wrist checkering was pretty good with most wear on borders. Therefore, decide to try and match forearm wear look so tried to clean checkering and only re-cut borders.

Default Project

My intent with the project was to get the gun safe to shoot (inspection, dents, oil soak). I also did not want a total restoration...more of a light restoration so it would still show age. Therefore, I was interested in keeping the wood a little darker and yet give it some finish for protection. A little glossy for me but happy with the results.
