Yes. I have never used the Constantia red oil, but know another knife maker who raves about it.

No, but I only used a couple of coats of the red oil before I went to the more neutral coloured gun stock oil because I didnt want to overwhelm the relatively light coloured wood (I was using spotted gum in that case). The red oil really brought out the grain on the wood - it was stunning how...

You could try postimage.com. Thats all I use for posting photos and it works for me.

I have used the red oil and stock oil on knife handles and found it to work well. I have not used any on a rifle stock though. I just gave what I had left over to a friend who makes rifle stocks, but I dont think he has used any yet.

Ive got four out of those six (nothing from Grant) . Do I win a prize :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Is there a good resource for the barrel contours used on the old Rigby, Westley Richards, Jeffery, Holland & Holland, etc bolt action rifles? I would like to see what profiles were used, and what they looked like in photos, but cant find much online. I did a search on the forum, but didnt turn...

When I did my first plains game hunt in South Africa I was planning to take my 308 Win. But it was with a gunsmith for some modifications, and as the hunt got closer and I had to organise permits etc, I realised the 308 was not going to be ready in time. At that time, my only choice was to...

That knife profile looks good. What steel did you use? I cant afford the oven I need for heat treating stainless steels. I will get one eventually, but need to save a bit first. I have outsourced the heat treat on all my knives. Let me know if you want to send yors out and I will PM you some...

This is one I made a while ago. It has a few flaws, so I put it aside for a while trying to decide what to do with it. I was thinking about grinding the handle off an redoing the bevels. But I decided the wood I used for the handle is too nice to destroy. So I finished it off over the last week...

Yeah, but other than that, they're great :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Well, to quote corporal Jones, "they dont like it up em". Though realistically its difficult to make a sambar stay put. The last one my son shot with his 458 still manged to get back up and run 30 meters despite it having 2 broken scapulars.

Thanks mate. I this case a picture really does say a thousand words (y)

Thanks mate. Life's too short to hunt with an ugly rifle (y)
