i love the matte finish on that barrel, i bet that cost you and arm and leg to have that done

Naw, Devil. As I understand it, Corey has somehow gotten a lot of "sympathy work" done by some guy he met on-line. I can't figure it out, but the guy seems to be pretty good-hearted andsure does good work.

Mountain Devil.. you did a great job on that barrel. What kind of chemical do you use?

used 80 grit sand paper to open the pores and finished off with 100 grit to smooth it out but leave a nice matte finish. It took 7 or 8 coats of LMF and then topped off with 2 coats boiled linseed oil.
