  1. F-Class Benchrest Rifle Stock, Tiger Maple, cherry and walnut

    This is the first F-Class target stock I've carved. Last week I modified a benchrest stock into a specialized target stock for F-Class. It's benchrest, but the matches aren't shot from a bench. They shoot from 600 to 1000 yards from the prone position. Front rests and rear sandbags are...
  2. Varmints Beware! (in Yosemite Sam's Voice)

    Here's a rootin', tootin', shootin' airgun for the likes of ya! This is a Crosman 1377 pump airgun that I made this stock and pump arm for. The wood is sapele with some quartersawn sycamore and black walnut for the grip cap. I used polyurethane in satin for the finish. Any comments or...
  3. Remington 660 laminated thumbhole stock

    I just finished a new stock project. It's a thumbhole stock for a Remington 660. I've wanted one for a long time, but no commercial gunstock companies make one as regular item… So, I made my own. It's got a beavertail forend for target shooting and it is great for off hand shooting. I chose...
  4. Ambrosia maple, walnut and cherry varmint/target stock

    I carved this stock this morning. It's the third attempt to getting it carved… The problem was carving the outside of one design and then switching the patterns and carving the interior. Or inletting the stock. The original stock pattern was cut to fit a Remington 700 BDL with a varmint...
  5. world war 2 rifle stock refinish

    This is a old rifle that I got for my 18th birthday this year. It was made in 1943 and the stock was well beyond worn out. The pics with out the old pizza box i worked on are of the stock before it was refinished. First I striped the old shellac finish with 60 grit sandpaper and sanded it up to...
  6. Tiger Maple and Cherry gunstock for a Savage 25-06 varmint rifle.

    This varmint stock fits a Savage 25-06 varmint rifle. It's made from tiger maple and wild cherry. It's been sanded to 180 grit at this point and there is no oil or finish applied. It's tough to get good photos of unfinished maple before dye or oil has been applied. After finishing this stock...
  7. Remington 600 stock made with Black Walnut and Wild Cherry

    I just finished this black walnut and cherry, thumbhole stock. It's going on a Remington 600 in .308. The stock was sanded to 180 grit and a couple of coats of tung oil have been wet sanded to fill the grain. It's ready for final sanding. The little dings and nicks that are present don't...
  8. Tiger maple and cherry gunstock with a walnut forearm tip for a Savage 25-06

    I used mineral spirits to show that this stock will look like wtih a finish. It's going to look a lot better with more sanding and a Watco Tung oil (fruit or light walnut color) And then Lin-Speed gunstock oil from Brownells. I'm running out of tiger maple. I guess I'll have to start making...
  9. Mauser 96 stock made from ambrosia maple, walnut and cherry

    This stock shows the dark ambrosia streaks and worm holes (soon to be filled with sawdust and superglue) of ambrosia maple, with two inner slices of American black walnut and a center slice of wild cherry. The colors that streak and swirl in the maple look like the coat of a wild animal and give...
  10. English Walnut and Tiger Maple laminated target rifle gunstock

    I just finished this target rifle stock. It's made from English walnut and tiger maple. The design is modeled on the Remington 40X target stock and it's inletted for a short action Savage. It's just rough sanded to 100 grit at this stage. I'll sand it with 180 and 220 grit before I ship it to...
  11. Remington 600 Laminated thumbhole stock

    I had several people send me e-mail about my 660 stock for the 350 and 6.5mm Magnum rifles. There is a lot of interest in these old Remington rifles and the standard barrel contour was produced in greater numbers than the magnum rifles. This is a stock carved from Ruttland Plywood, and inletted...
  12. Cherry & walnut thumbhole laminated stock for a Remington 600 carbine

    This is my latest experiment in carving gunstocks. This stock has way too many tight curves to sand around… The finger groves and all the intricate curves around the cheek rest and thumbhole require hand sanding after I'm finished carving on my stock duplicator. To get out all the cutter marks...
  13. Varmint thumbhole stock for a Remington 700

    This is a very unique rifle stock. The customer shipped me his walnut and elm lumber to use for the blank. Its the first stock I've carved from elm and I like the grain that shows in the laminates very much. The only Laminated elm stocks I've seen were made for Mauser 98 rifles when walnut...
  14. Remington 700 thumbhole sporter stock

    This stock was carved from the first walnut log I harvested and sawed with my new sawmill. It's dried slowly so the wood is both dry and seasoned. Dried too quickly, the lumber will have internal stresses that are undesirable in a finished gunstock. I sawed this lumber 1" thick as slabs and each...
  15. Ruger 10/22 maple and wild cherry gunstock

    I carved this gunstock to fit a Ruger 10/22 with a target weight barrel. I'm giving first refusal to a customer who ordered a figured maple Ruger stock. I don't know what you call this type of quilting. It's from a tree grown in East Tennessee, so doubt it's big leaf maple. It's also not as...
  16. Ruger 10/22 thumbhole stock made from Maple and wild cherry. I broke it!

    Woops, I was just finished sanding to 120 grit and was going to start with rasps and files on the thumbhole area, when I dropped it! The figured maple shattered in the action area where the stock is only one laminate thick. This maple was beautiful! It looks like flames from a fire and the...
  17. Ruger 10/22 laminated walnut & maple target gunstock

    I made an early Christmas present for myself. This stock is made from some scrap walnut that wasn't suitable for customers. You can see the place I repaired a 1/4", 1/8" and a 1/16" crack. I used sawdust and epoxy to fill the crack and after it hardened, I sanded it flush with the rest of the...
  18. American Black Walnut gunstock for a Remington 600

    A few weeks ago, I uploaded a couple of projects for Remington 600 stocks carved from laminated and colored birch. The laminates were made by Ruttland Plywood and that type of laminate is what almost all the custom stock carvers use to make laminated stocks. This is the same type stock, but...
  19. Black Cherry & American Black Walnut gunstock for a Remington 600

    This stock is very much like the other thumbhole stocks I've carved to fit a Remington 600/660 rifle. This one is one of my favorites. It's wild cherry on the outside and black walnut and cherry on the inside laminates. The cherry has a lot of grain and color showing. I've wet sanded it with...
  20. Walnut varmint stock for a Mauser 98

    This stock was carved from a huge American Black Walnut blank. Too bad there wasn't room in the blank to carve two stocks. "The blank was quartersawn and shows some fiddleback. I only sanded the stock to 120 grit and rubbed in one thin coat of tung oil. When the stock is finish sanded to at...
