Man...That thing looks like it's gonna be sweet! Awesome job Foxie!

 

[Coral Sniper]

Wow very cool (I love the wood in the handle). Looks like a rabitech apex cobra :martial

Big respect to having the skill to make a gun so beautiful Foxfish.

I have never been a fan of wooden guns i prefer my carbon but maybe just maybe this view could change.

Can't wait to see them finished.

Now that, I like. Its a fusion gun, old skool wood and modern delrin and plastic, great skills mate.

What shaft did you settle on in the end?

 

[settingsteel]

Wicked taper!

Thanks guys it was fun building the gun, thanks to my brother too as he helped a bit along the line.
Actually the gun looks really cool up close when you can see all the laminates changing direction & it feels nice as well.
Pastor the spear is a problem that i have yet to solve! The one pictured is the spear that fits my composite enclosed track but it wont work with this one.
The fins are to short, I thought I would be able to use the spear with a metal wishbone but "no"
Anyhow that one can live in the shed - I am thinking about the next one now - any ideas?

 

[Spaniard]

You are the master builder Foxy, can't think of any ideas right now but i'll try!

Here is another one I have started -

 

[Magpie]

That's going to be beautiful when you've epoxied it.

 

[foxfish]

Thanks - 25 x 1mm laminates of birch cold moulded in a gig. I actually made the stock a year or so ago, the same time as I made the mamba cradle.

 

[Pastor]

Nice effect!

 

[Magpie]

Are some of the laminates stained then? Best looking one yet imho.

 

[foxfish]

I used a blue dye in the epoxy & mixed the lamanites directions. Muzzle & rear end made from oak.
