Default Re: Close-up pics

Steve, your shading looks just as good close up. The camera doesn't lie. This is a great study in "less is more" as the calculated placement and number of shading lines is fantastic.

I've read about the stainless wrap (available from Brownells) with a wood chip inside to consume the existing oxygen. Wasn't sure just how well it worked, especially of there's a leak in the foil. I was gonna try it on a case hardened Sharps action to anneal it but decided that I'll probably send it back to Shiloh. They are a very kind and accommodating group. I didn't know the hardening temp was below the gold melting temp either ... great info and thank-you Steve.

Chris
