A plank, and a pile of parts.

I tried a kit one time, semi-inletted, metal in the white, from a fairly well known kit maker. I spent more time fixing what they jacked up than actually building it. Won't do that again.

Next up is some form of smoothbore fowler. Have everything, plus some extra stuff if I decide to go one way or another, but still deciding what to do. That's pretty much the hardest part of it I think. I've bounced back and forth between half stock walnut and full stock maple. Thinking I'll order another full length maple with some good stripe in it and go with that. The one pictured is plain grain maple.

2/3 round 62 cal smooth bore, single trigger, flinter.
