BARREL BROWNERS:I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH SEVERAL SOLUTIONS IN THE PAST AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE MARK LEE BROWNING GIVES THE EASIEST NICE BROWN COLOR.  BELOW IS A 1830 VINTAGE percussion bbl that I JUST FINISHED. PLEASE EXCUSE MY BACK PORCH TABLE PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO as they actually look better than the photo..

 I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
