Talking of Man Projects...
Got bitten by the antique rifle restoration bug again, and been buying up big. Found a rather sad, albeit thankfully complete, Remington Pattern 1914 .303 rifle (British WW1 contract rifle, made in the USA). Stock had been spoke shaved, or more likely considering it's last owner, shaved with a kukri... Thankfully - again - plenty of walnut "meat" was left for me to correct the well-meaning shaved look - rasp, sandpaper etc, keeping the original profiles (I have a few to follow the profiles and curves from). It is coming along well.
Long lineage with this one - British WW1, then to India, then Nepal...
