Not bad at all. You took a lot of wood off, hopefully you had some power tools to help you? That looks like it was a lot of work.

Haha yes, a lot of wood. I have more photo's but didn't know it wouldn't let me attach more of them in the comments
. No power tools man... I actually was looking for a whittling project but ended up with a lot more haha. Did it with a coping saw, a fiskar saw, and a fiskar scythe that I used as kinda an axe. Next time I'm going to go for a smaller fork :rofl:Thanks man, trying to get it just right. The further along I get the more scared I get to touch it because there is less and less margin for error
I am uploading some of the other pictures I took on the project leading up to the completion. The last picture is my first coat of tru oil I applied tonight after going up to 120 grit and adding band grooves as well as a tube hole for a matchstick setup if i want to try that in the future. I've learned to much working on this.

Looks like it's ready for banding and shooting.

Hey thanks a lot! It's amazing how much character is in wood that I just never would have known or appreciated before doing this
Thank you! I'm going to update with one more picture after I am done with all of the coats on this guy. I think I'm going to go up to 4 coats of Tru Oil waiting 3-5 hours between coats and then use some 0000 steel wool on it and finish with a final top coat.
Haha I have been tempted more than once just to put bands on it and take it for a spin.
