I am very happy with the finish of this gun. A 6 week cure / straighten process has paid off with it being very straight. Its not perfect but improving with each project.
I have 3 more guns under way. One will be ready to rig on the weekend and another 2 for my mate David. These ones are looking fantastic, I cannot wait to get some epoxy onto them.

Thanks guys.
I am pleased with the process I use of getting these blanks straight (especially at this length, I measure Euro from back of band slot to back of mech so this is more like a 1.5m) even though it takes 6 weeks. It is just hanging it for 2 weeks at a time and ripping it on my table saw with a 2.4m straight edge.
These guns are very basic, I run a 5mm taper from front to back (which is very hard to see) What I love is the natural beauty (which I have very little to do with:laughing:) and just using them is so nice.
This gun required no led at all. The density of the timbers works perfectly, slightly muzzle heavy and a slow sink with the shaft in, buoyant with the shaft out.:thumbsup2:
