Beautiful piece of burl, sorry for your loss. I'm from North Bergen, home is on the banks of the Hudson

one of the most beautiful GG out there fright!! Be well and thanks a lot for this photo buddy

Finally got home to this beauty. This is a priceless addition to my little GG collection.

BTW it is not nearly as dark as in the photos but apparently I can't take a picture to save my life.

Thank you Imeo for making this possible!!

These all look great. I love how you finish them and keep the character of the wood. Not too glossy like a pool stick or bowling alley. I wonder if you could use a wood burning kit or a soldering iron to put a small signature or a big GG emblem branded on the side?
Does anyone use these or are they mostly just looked at? If I had one, it would not leave the house.

Hi Dr
Thanks. I use mine everyday. Proper wood finish should be "in the wood", not on the surface in order to expose the grain. In my first ones, I used a combination or varnish/linseed oil, essentially gunstock finish. The subsequent batches used CA which is an epoxy that penetrates into the wood. This finish is very robust and durable and totally waterproof so it won't be affected by humidity, sweat or juice

Years ago I used to hand carve rifle stocks. As you can see, I used to smoke back then

Hi MrRick
This is yours after polish. I remember it well. Ebony is very dense

A very big thanks to Torq. A piece of art buddy

 

[Torqueguy]

Hey Imeo, glad you like it and I thank you for your creations. You are the master and father, I just put a little piece of wood on them.

Best!

I haven't heard anything from Torqueguy, I hope he is ok.

 

[RiverNut]

he hasn't posted in a while...maybe his new job is keeping him busy.
