New Napanoch mod

Post by glennbad »

I didn't know these were being made again, but I got a chance to work on one. The customer wanted the caplifter removed, and recovered in some sunset rope jig bone. Also a first for me...

Here's the before...

Here's the first attempt, LOL. Just so everyone doesn't think I'm perfect and mistakes don't happen, haha!

Here's the second attempt, better results this time!

That looks great! I would question the strength of that original caplifter and that oh too thin section of blade. Doesn't look that strong with the leverage that could be applied.

I had not seen the rope jigging before, either. It looks really good!
