    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.

    You need to post up a price list for your checkering services - sit back and wait for the forum jobs to roll in...

    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:
