Balsa and Redwood Gun by Joe Bauguess

This is pretty much the finished shape, minus the glass and fin, the rest of the gallery is the start to finish of the balsa and redwood gun. Joe hand made this gun from start to finish, starting with the laminating of the planks of balsa and redwood, to cutting the outline, planing, sanding and then finish sanding. A shapers shaper, a man from the old school.
