Board Member Buzz sent me his beautiful little quality 28 gauge W.J. Jeffery barrels for re-blacking. I posted some pictures for those that are interested. Before, during and after completion.

Four passes, hand sanding with different grits of W/D paper were required.

It looks real nice now for a 100+ year old 28 gauge quality small bore.

As received before hand polishing. 3 pictures.







First Pass, One of Four, with coarsest grit. 2 pictures.





Jeffery ready for blacking after 4th polishing with very fine grit. 2 pictures.

Sorry I thought once you hit Submit, everything was added. When adding pictures I also hit Preview to make sure it is what I selected.

As always, very nice.

Doug does just outstanding work. These are the barrels I posted about in the main forum that the post office misplaced for about a month. Boy am I ever happy how this all turned out in the long run! Thanks Doug!

Because of the forum, I'd like to ask, do you have a picture or comment about the backings that you use for your abrasive sheet work. I think your experience and attention to detail count a whole bunch, but I'm curious, that's all.

You seem to get into nooks and crannies better than most, but your matching reflections off the broad compound curves are always impressive. Thanks for showing it.

Doug did the barrels on my Sarriugarte and my early A grade A.H. Fox to perfection. He also did the stock and fore end wood on my Remington 1900 and it is perfect..........no farmer bolts or packing crate staples. He even restored the original widow's peak butt plate. All three guns are treasures to me.

craigd:

Wooden paint stir sticks can be cut easily to various sizes, pointed, blunt nosed etc. and make very good W/D paper backing push sticks, as do pointed bamboo skewers for really tight corners.

Best Regards,


Doug
