Steampunk Shotgun Part 2

Still plugging away at the shotgun.  Had a bit of a set back with the staining.  If there was truth in advertising the following product:

It really does not stain as well as actual wood and any wood it touches won't take stain well either, but after some grumbling and sanding I was able to get a good stain on the stock.

Well that's all for now.  Hopefully this weekend I have a few hours to work on this.  Pretty soon I'll be adding the "fun stuff" to this piece.
