Default Martini 17HH update

Finished the wood on the Martini 17HH, basically a straight wrist butt with a varmint forearm with a Macasscor Ebony tip. Wood is Franquette which is a variant of English Walnut, light color with dark streaking. Basic Cadet action with bushed breechblock, barrel is a new takeoff from a Anschutz 1702 shortened to 22" and recontoured at the receiver, metal work and chambering done by Phil Peterson. Pics showing the wood before and after, rifle is headed towards Glenrock bluing to be finished.

Very impressive Chuck! What type of finish did you apply to the wood?
