Okay i just added another coat. The first coat actually dried pretty fast. Looks like its finally starting to take it and stay. I'll let it dry over night than go ahead and sand a little with 2000 grit sand paper and give it 7 or 8 more coats. What do you guys think of that tru oil in a spray can? i was thinking that i could use 2 or 3 coats of that after my final hand rubbed coat. I deff. fixed the area on the upper wrist. My new project i mentioned before is....traditions .50cal kentucky flintlock Pistol,i think it will make a nice match with my rifle and plus in some of the rendezvous shootouts you need a pistol. Heard these pistols are amazingly accurate too.
