(pics added) John Deere Contender!!!!!
« on: September 24, 2011, 03:08:05 PM »
I like things different! ;D So I decided to make a John Deere Contender. Here are pics of the John Deere Grip. I will add pictures as I progress.





I made a short target forearm and also a longer Schnabel to go with it.








This pic is after first coat of finish.

Now that's alright right there!! Being a farm boy myself, I can seriously appreciate that.

By the way, thanks for the set you just hooked me up with. Sent you an email earlier.

Top-notch fella and makes a great set up for the T/C's!

Keep up the good work!!

As a former John Deere employee I appreciate that as well!

Thanks guys!

I had my doubts when just viewing the wood. But after shaping I started to think OK, this is not bad. When some finish hits this wood and the colors pop I believe it's going to look pretty darn nice.
