I really like the craftsmanship, but the finish is disappointing.

I wanted to see how he boarded the hole through the forend but he cheated and just sawed out a channel.  I need to make w couple of forends but not decided on how to drill two parallel holes in the right place.  I could just drill the tube hole and carve out  the barrel channel.

Cut and glue?  

 

Maybe make a light carrier out of basswood?

I agree that could have been better.

I think he was going for a old used look .
