I actually I prefer wood at times. I think wood has such an interesting , natural and classy look. Just my opinion though.

Cheers

Mark the pic you used showed the deep detail in the timber and your sure turning to place it properly in the frame that pen kits provide. By minimising the kit influence it gives me that satisfaction when you can see the nuances timber provides. How fortunate we are with the choices displayed in plastic and natural/combined timber and plastic. Those who use ammunition so well on this forum.

Peter.
