I like alkanet root because it tends to bring out figure hidden in the wood. However, with this old JABC muzzle loader there just wasn't much figure there.

FWIW calling this gun a JABC is probably a little harsh. It's not poorly made and must've been treasured farm implement in its day. The best part is, at 8lbs, mostly in the barrels, I'm not worried about it blowing up!

Steve, it looks very good and I also wouldn't really call it a JABC.

JABC = "Just Another Belgian Clunker" a name which has been given to the cheap Belgian import hardware store guns that flooded the market back around 1900 ± a decade or so either way.
