Wild maple grain
« on: March 15, 2021, 08:41:08 PM »
Some may remember I slabbed up a maple trunk almost two yrs ago. I sent a pistol blank off in a trade to a friend in NY, he sent me these pictures when he tested some stain on a scrap he cut off of the blank. Cant wait to see in when completeted.
I wish I could build that good that fast😯
