I haven't had a chance to do a lot more on the rifle. The action, barrel and bottom metal is in place and I have started to slim the wood and have done some shaping of the pistol grip.
I'm sorry for the forearm still looks like a Weatherby. I will slim it a lot more and then shape it. And mount a new ebony or another dark brown piece of wood as a nice tip. The ebony I had glued in there cracked.

And, I now see that my roughly shaping gave me a LOT of more wood to carve.
The good thing is, I don't need to get bored the next few days.
And this kind of work is giving me great satisfaction.
