Kibler Fowler 20ga build
« on: January 09, 2025, 01:52:43 PM »
Well, no building yet, it ships out to me tomorrow.  Extra extra extra fancy tiger stripe maple, pix that were sent to me of the wood posted below.  It'll get the iron nitrate stain and then multiple wipes of good ol' Tru-Oil. Should be ready for Springtime shootin'.  :wave   :*:

Looks like it’s going to be a stunning build! That extra fancy maple is going to pop beautifully with the iron nitrate and Tru-Oil finish. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Are you planning to add any personal touches or keep it true to Kibler’s design?

It'll get built as-is .... but I might add some engraving to the side plate and thumb plate.
