This 312 came with 11 docs, 106 old school targets, pellet tins, & bb cylinders I never heard of, & the gun & box... I think you'll like it. Fly tying? Booooring.
I've tried tying flies but dang Fellas, its had to get all their little legs together to hog tie the Little Buggers!!!! LOL I'm an avid woodworker, but carving takes a special type of person!! I've tried my hand at it and it's mucho worky!! I made a cross and under it i carved " I have Risen" gave it to my Sister for Easter. That was the hardest part of the whole project.

is this the where you got the pattern ?http://www.worldofwoodforum.com/vb/showthread.php?10143-WIP-gunstock-carvinggood info
Thanks for the tip David. I keep a scrap piece of hardwood next to the work piece to see how the different bits react to the wood. Sometimes you can't help but cut across/against the grain. When this happens I score the cuts & then REAL slow & at high rpm's ease through the cut. Much easier cutting with the grain.I'm always thinking 5 steps down the road. Example; layout...no overlapping intersections, which leaf is on top, second, etc. Which areas need deeper cuts. Does this area need a cut or minor shading relief. Do some areas need mechanical cuts or fine blade cuts. Good way to exerciser the brain.
