Osage rifle stock

Looks great! I like how the lighter wood contrasts with the darker metal. Well done!

Very nicely done. Gunstocks are indeed difficult!

i like the looks of it good contrast as said …GREAT JOB :<))

I'm normally a blued steel and Walnut… but I agree that the light wood looks good in this project.

Looks like a fun shooter. Let all pesky squirrels and raccoons beware :^)

Bow wood for a rifle stock I like it.

Looks great. You do know that osage will darken a lot.

Thanks, Me too- I think it will still look good as the wood darkens over time.

Thanks-I'm that way too, but like the look of it. It's exotic looking like some of the synthetic wood used on competition rifles. It's already darkened somewhat since these pictures. Over time it'll start looking more traditional as the wood turns to that orangish brown/russet color. And yes It's a good varmint rifle. I dropped a coyote with it last fall.

Yes it already has some. On other things i've made the polyacrylic definitely slows it down a lot, but I love the orangish russet color it turns to over time.

looks great….. wish you had a couple more pics. I never tried this.

Great looking stock. I love that Osage Orange. You need a milling machine for those internal contours!!

Cheers, Jim

Thank you, and yes that would be nice. I made the forearm by drilling a square blank with two different size bits at different depths to match the barrel and the bore that it mated up to. Then I split it down the middle with my bandsaw.

Very Nice For Sure & Well Done Ross!

That color of wood and the grain in it looks real good on the gun. Graet job.
