My Baikal project is now finished and may be it will not be used by me for quite some time the shoulder is not improving as fast as I would have hoped. Firstly I would like to thank you folks on the other side of the pond for their kind wishes and advice on what may help my shoulder problems. But as a realist things are going to take some twelve months or more to sort themselves out well, I am not getting any younger quite the opposite in fact and I have given my shoulder a lot of use over the years.
Back to the gun I completed it about a month ago now and I have been waiting for the oil finish on the wood to harden before I re assembled the gun. I think now looking back I had a little too much time on my hands because being honest with myself putting such a quality oil finish on the wood was a little overboard when you consider the guns value, but I was keeping my hand in mixing up the finishing oils applying it and watch it change the wood that was as plane as a deck plank to something with a bit of interest and character. As usual I have taken some photographs of my efforts along the way in the hope my sad attempts at improving my skill at photography, though no improvements as yet!
