View of the buttstock, the wood is in pretty good shape considering where it has been.

During the 2nd phase of clean up, i used a wire wheel to remove most of the surface gunk and rust. Looks totally different.

Great project, Mike! Seems fitting, somehow. One "Martini Henry" to another.
Can't wait for photos of the completed restoration.
