The rest of the day was taken up with shaping the forestock

And finishing the butt stock shaping, with it all sanded to 100 grit

At this stage it will wait till Euan can have a check fit as the brief was to make this a slim trim sporter and putting it on the scales it tips them at 6 lb 1 oz with the only addition to be a set of open sights and a barrel band sling eye (half way between the forend tip and the muzzle) so it will probably not go over about 6 lb 3 or 4 when finished. The grain in this one is quite spectacular as the full fiddle back in the forestock runs back down the wrist of the butstock where it reduces and straightens into the dark and light pattern. With some alkanet and oil it will be quite striking.
At this stage I should post one of the very many that were bought down on a thumb drive to show me what the ideal would be and at least to my eye I think I am about as close as I can get going off a picture.
