I am puzzled how you keep the artwork on the furniture from rubbing off.

J.Morse OP trapper J Joined: May 2013 Posts: 5,109 Northern Michigan	Originally Posted by GROUSEWIT Explain the top marks on stock please. I assume you mean the round design?....that is my poor rendition of a Bobcat track. The two hash marks under the track are for a couple 'cats I called up and shot with it. All the rest are turkey tracks, one for each Tom killed with the gun. Mine closest to the buttplate under my first initial. One under my All Purpose Boy's first initial, and the others under my late Pappy's first initial. After I'm gone I hope my grandsons add their initials to the reverse side and fill that stock full up! ..........Oops! The single track is under my Pappy's initial, the three are under my sons.
