I think we're mostly on the same page, Keith, even if we count some of the costs differently. If I tried Timberluxe, and it gave me outstanding results, I would certainly consider trying to make my own version of it for the experience as well as the saving.
I'm going to try to make Damascus's slacum for a gun sometime soon. Maybe for my 1892 Henry Atkin boxlock. Seems fitting to use the old school oil finish for a gun of that vintage. I won't be taking it in the duck blind anyway.
And actually the Flexner book is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, as it turns out. I bought it with regular woodworking in mind, but maybe I will have to add it to my 'Books for the Amateur Gunsmith' list.
