Moving along with it. Trying to set it up in my mini mill to cut the gripping grooves next and then staining with Birchwood-Casey red walnut. Got the muzzle crowned nice, it was way off. Also replaced the thick trigger with one of the slender early krag style triggers and opened the bow up some more. Reblued it too.

Update— milled my grasping grooves, now I’m working on the exposed lightening cut. Hopefully will stain over the weekend.
