But hats off your doing your own.
All I did was the finish the checking and the bedding.
Sorry to highjack the thread. My build was around 2 years from start to finish.
All good @Sideshow that’s a very nice piece of walnut you have there! I bet you spend a lot of time looking at it!Quote:

That is looking good :thumbsup:
Checkering complete, just needs a quick coat of oil and it’s good to go on the hill. Finished it whilst working away from home, so will post photos of it all assembled when I get back next week.

Stunning! Nice work mate.
You need to post up a price list for your checkering services - sit back and wait for the forum jobs to roll in...:thumbsup:
Haha, yeah watch this space…. That’s the mid term planQuote:

Wooooweee!
Bloody stunning mate, could go on a Rigby and not look out of place
Looking forward to the next round of photos. Bloody awesome to see talent like this, as it's vanishing from our midst.
Thanks to all for the kind comments. I really enjoy the process of crafting something that has the potential to last through generations, and could see that it was becoming a bit of a lost skill here in NZ.
The next stock will be for a Czech made Zastava .223 that I have, which will be made to on-sell. However, I’m going to offer it up once inletted prior to shaping, so a potential buyer can request dimensions and style to suit them. A bit of an experiment, but see how it goes.
Will be made from this blank:

@Hunter_Nick how was that first cut:O_O::o lol I remember doing mine! I was shitting myself that I’d screw it up and have to go back to square one :sick:
Looks really good you must be chuffed :thumbsup:

I was asked once to checker a forend to go on a Holland and Holland single rifle. Man, it took me days to pluck up the courage to start cutting!
@Hunter_Nick yeah my bum was going “Man hole cover………20cent piece”! Once you start it’s kind of therapeutic though :ORLY::DQuote:

Very impressive
Geepers you have some talent man- well done !
I’d be too afraid to take that out on the hill.
Outstanding work, look forward to seeing more of your work.
Wow, that's amazing. I really like the trigger guard relief, very nice touch. I have made a few stocks over the years, and can say without a shadow of a doubt that I do not have the patience required for a superb job such as this. Nice job.
Woow Nick,that take some patience and skill.Very nice.
Great work
That is the pinnacle of great woodwork. Beautiful!
Lovely work, great end result
Great craftsmanship. Taking orders?
@Magnus if you’ve got a project in mind we can talk turkey for sure.Quote:
