I made this rifle stock from a chunk of native Rimu that had been lying under the house.

And a "chain saw" was used in the making of it!.

Love it! Love the texture the poker work adds to it as well. Bring on the checkering.... you know you want to..

That's great

Good job. Like the artwork.

wow.

Seriously, WOW

The artwork is ultra impressive. Especially the roaring stag. Is wood work or artwork your hobby or profession?

I'm a builder by trade does that count?.
Pyrography (wood burning) art work on a rifle stock, pretty happy with this end result, and you cant rub it out if you do a mistake and start over ...lol.
I like to make all sorts of stuff, this was just a wee project that went well.

Great craftsmanship KC. If you are getting quarter inch groups at 100 yards but are still working on a load then what sort of accuracy are you after?

Absolutely brilliant mate.. A real work of art... I love seeing genuine craftsman ship of this quality..

Very impressed NZ got talent alright! And you certainly do

Very cool, Awesome!!!!

Brilliant KC, real piece of art right there, well done mate!

Thats a wicked work of art alrite , well done , its given me the GIVE IT A GO M8 for my ol 7 x57 Orbendorf Mauser which needs a new stock , as it was probably used as a hammer in its early life , snapped in half by the rear grip , iv got some old Mauri ( i think thats how u spell it ) lying around , was thinking that the grain of Mauri could look orsum

I hope you haven't destructively modified the barreled action.
