Tactical / Precision Rifles w/WOOD

[Harvey_NW]

Correct.

I would normally go back over that slow with many, many passes to smooth it out. When im done in the duplicator, there isnt much time with 80grit. Very few tool marks.

Dude, if you consider selling roughed out duplicates, PM me. I'd love to get one, before your new business takes off and you get swamped!

I wanted to experiment with an extra blank for this season's NRL Hunter rifle.

Did a rough carve on the grip area, then left it (no shaping or sanding). It left an almost tree bark look. Feels great in the hand, obviously not as refined as checkering, but serves the same purpose.

Reminds me of my old maple baseball bats smothered in pine tar.

Pretty happy w this Dremel bit for stippling. More/random and slightly deeper seems to be more grippy.

Practicing with some new Christmas presents...

Tonight's practice was a simple point pattern and trying not to blow out the borders. Adding and extending rows to add points and keep them balanced.

These have been cut in with the 60°. The 75° and 90° ill save for tomorrow.

This walnut stock got the ebony treatment. Sanded to 180 so far... Plenty of work left.

Are you going to try checkering on this one?
Panel checkering or full wrap around the grip?

 

[AMG04]

Nope! Ive only practiced on the two flat panels. I need way more practice before checkering a piece of wood like this.

Ha I was wondering.
BTW those ebony end pieces are awesome

 

[AMG04]

Sanded up through 400 grit and put on the first coat of oil to start sealing it. Ill sand in coats of oil through 1000 grit to completely fill the grain.
