Bear with me as this is my first attempt at using photo bucket on this site. Here is my 75th anniversary, after I had the stock "higraded" and improved over what the factory provided, by Dennis Pritchard. Surely some of the hard-core purists here will not like this but I think it turned out nicely. This is an example of a hand rubbed finish. Not sure how many coats but I think it is something like 50, and takes months.
