Fitting a sierra blank on a squire kit. I posted this last week in a bash contest but wanted to share here for anyone that might have missed it. I have more sierra tube blanks than kits and wanted to try this majestic squire with out making a new blanks so I modified it to fit the majestic squire. Since the squire is smaller in diameter and shorter in length, I was able to wrap a 3/8" squire tube (rolled with 2 layers of regular paper, saturated in thin CA) and then epoxy inside the sierra tube as you would a tube in any drilled hole. You will have to pen mill the blank down a little extra since the squire tube is shorter. Then you turn, finish and assemble. This is a ringneck pheasant feather group on a curly maple background.
I got this idea from Skiprat after watching him modify a sierra to fit an elegant beauty / aero kit. Also, thanks Newlondon88 for the majestic squire kit. Thank you IAP and Happy Birthday!
