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.

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.

This is how such guns should be done. Way to go.

I should be clear that I did not do the restoration, just gave the parameters. Barrels are courtesy of Breck Gorman and furniture cleanup was done by Craig Libhart. Both were great to work with and I would recommend their work.

A "Hunter's" refinish! Very nicely done, but doesnt take away the characteristics of a fine old gun. Kind of what I was thinking about for my sidelever Greener in a current post.

Yes, actually you are the inspiration for my post. I didn't want to clutter up your thread so I posted here under restorations.
