Red stringybark, I have done six in various profiles, controlled dry and laminated, great harmonics on recoil, native to S E Australia, something else in the sun ,Chop.
I will dig up some photos of others if I can ,also some photos of the time I spent the hands on great, Geoff Slee, he had little tooling but was great with his hands and very basic tools, I would like to share, Chop.
Geoff on his machine with some students, one a cnc operator that learnt a lot because of the hands on situation, 5 days and he was still taking it on,more photos on the way, Chop. ps, notice the deaf old mate on the right hand side , 25000 rpm hurts the ears.
G'Day All,
yeah I was at the auction of all his stuff, bought a few things, it was sad to see $300-$400 walnut blanks being sold for less than 10%, I was keen on the Dakota Arms copying machine but Gordon Cousens from Tasmania bought it along with most of Geoff's 'good' patterns.
Strange really as he offered me a second hand low miles blue printes one with 6 spare routers about 18 months before hand, which he did sell. makes you wonder why he bought GS's well used one..................
Still I have a GS classic stock for a hunting rifle and a old varminting stock for a V blocked sako action to refer to, along with about a dozen GS LH thumbholes (small & large) that I hope to use along the way.
G'Day Chop,
nah not yet, got to prove it to my satisfaction first. Once I'm happy, hopefully in a few months, I'll let the cat out of the bag..................I could be COMPLETELY WRONG too!
Far safer to keep everyone guessing I'm a dill, than to prove it beyond all doubt! Cheerio Ned
CHOP.
