Thanks guys, tbh the barrels have been a complete nightmare...they got dented in transit to me. So I had to have that taken out...striking up has been a nightmare too...the locks are dirty as hell and she just hasn't been looked after. Thankfully she is in working order. I hope I can do her justice on the rest of the process!

The wood is Turkish walnut believe it or not. My stocker is a very well known ex Churchills and Westley bloke, really really nice guy, super dry humour and I think one of the best in the land.

I'll post pics as she progresses!
Cheers
