	I have long used a toilet base sealing ring to lubricate screws. Its main ingredients seem to be some type of wax and linseed oil. In any case, the material works great with both wood and metal screws and I haven't come close to using up one ring after over 30 years. Bill Lawrence

	I have a little box screwed to the side of my reloading bench by my Lyman lubrisizer and I scrape off excess bullet lube on the edge occasionally while lubing bullets. When I run screws into stocks I scrape the threads across the lube before screwing them in to make them go in easier. My bullet lube is a mixture of mostly bees wax, Crisco, and some Vaseline.

	Been trying to show pictures of this stock, and showing changes as the finish builds. I will get the buttplate reshaped and polished next. Then that is where I will stop for now. It will be shown in Greeley Co., at the gun show in May, as she is. It will get checkering after that and be finished up. Bob

	Looks like you're going to have lots of eye candy on your table at Greeley!

	Got the buttplate screws all trimmed, adjusted and fitted. Buttplate polished as good as gets for now, and then a couple more of the rifle fully assembled. Ready to go to Colorado! Bob

	that's beautiful rifle. it must be nice living in a place where the trees have signs on them that say things like 'cut here for Ballard' or 'perfect grain for Schoyen restocking'. I cannot tell you how I admire these things you build.

	Beautiful work Bob. I love the way the grain flows through the shape of the stock!
