    Just when I thought I was about to finish this stock, I bump the spacing cutter off the bench and bend it…. At least the forend is done, grip is going to have to wait till new tool arrives from the states.

    24LPI and mullered borders. Mmmm

    What do you use for your sealer? and do you wet sand with oil to fill the pores?

    Thanks for the kind feedback everyone. I’m really hoping there is still the desire for nice custom stocks, as I’m hoping to make this a full-time venture.

    After receiving the stock you made for me I can see you getting very busy in the future,I love it and it’s made an agricultural old Brno into a lovely classic looking gun I will be glad to hand down to future generations,even if it is just a .22.. can highly recommend this man to anyone looking to get a stock made..he does great work.

    Thanks @The bomb for giving me the chance to build that stock. Those Model 2s are a lovely bit of kit, was a pleasure to work on!

    Next one in the works has quite a bit of a story, and some very nice figure on one side too! Going to be a stunner.
