Finished the Fowler Last night , shot it today
I used Easy-Off Oven Cleaner for a stain, came out real nice, hand rubbed 8 coats of Tru- Coat.
Polished the lock and Barrel
I made a frt. sight from sheet brass in a heart shape, It's a little high for now, I'll trim it when sighting in.

I used Easy Off oven cleaner, contains lye, chemical reacts with the cherry wood and turns brown, much like Aqua Fortis and Maple.
Spray on , wipe off, neutralize using vinegar, water.
my 1st time trying it, worked great.

Never heard of the oven cleaner stain before but it sure did work.  That is certainly one nice, graceful fowler you built, Tom.
