Ya beat me to it Buzz, I was going to ask the same question.

It's really a nice wood to work with. I've done @ 17 guns in Ash,and 3 were Lancaster styles with a lot of carving. Carving is a pain in the butt! Flat cut isn't too bad,quarter sawn is a lot prettier,but almost impossable to carve decently,always running into open grain. I use Ashphaltum as a stain. Road tar dissolved in mineral spirit's. My Grandfather was a cabinet maker/clock maker from Poland and we made EVERTHING at that time. You could alway's tell when he made some new brushes,the dog's had bald spot's all over!!

Thanks everyone! Pathfinder did one heck of a job on this one! Yes, I feel very lucky to have this rifle. I'm going to shoot it this weekend, and get her sighted in. I will report back with the results.

I will be toting this one around everywhere I go!

As long as ya keep her under cover!
