Lets see that pretty wood

Here are my two favorites. A .458 Mod. 70 Win mag, and a Beretta 687 EELL Classic in 20 ga.

All finished up, someone’s going to win themselves a pretty cool package on Saturday at the salute to conservation in BC. A local knife builder built a blade from a piece of the blank and ebony to go with it.

I cut open a wild piece of Claro today. Can't wait to get the stock out of this one.

That’s just a classic/classy stock all around, as far as I’m concerned. Simply beautiful.

I for one am really looking forward to seeing the end result, I sure hope you post it.

It’s definitely not as good looking as some of these. However, I’m pretty pleased with how my first stock turned out!

good job, except you put the bolt on the wrong side!

For your first attempt I'd say that turned out pretty good! Is that maple and is it a solid blank or a laminate?

 

[bielenbm]

It is, I definitely had some screw ups but I guess I won’t be as upset when I beat it up. It’s maple with three pieces laminate together.

One of @longrangelead's creations:

A heirloom rifle, .458wm with a rosewood stock that I find myself gawking at a lot. Grandad built it in the early 80’s for a Cape buffalo hunt, but the airline lost it on his way there so it didn’t get used. Luckily he did get it back weeks later. I’m currently restocking it slowly with a nice Turkish but with a left hand fit to it, so I can take it to Africa for its intended purpose one day, I think he’d like that. That rear sight hates my left hand thumb and the steel butplate hates my boney shoulder lol, I haven’t pulled its trigger since 1999, though it’s the first centerfire I shot as a wee boy. “Grouse loads” were a hoot!

The attachment of the peep sight is pretty interesting.

WOW that deserves a repost

This is the only wood stock I have with any figure at all.



I have a 9422 that has a stock that is a pretty color to it but it has straight grain.
