    Last stock that I’ll be doing for a while, I’ve got a heap of hunting (and living life outside the workshop) to be done! This one is for myself, a .358 Winchester. Metalwork by Allen Carr,...

    And here it is just before I dropped it off to Allen Carr for a satin bluing job. Will look great once done, hopefully the new owner thinks so! 207779

    Jeez it’s been a while since I updated this thread! That’s the nature of stock work, especially at this end of the year… I’ve finally finished the stock for my special .358, ready to head to Allen...

    And so after 89 1/4 hours of planing, chiselling, scraping, sanding and much thinking and looking, here is what I have. This is after the first ‘base coat’ of oil, which now needs to dry a couple of...

    I decided with this one to try a bit of cast and cant. All my previous stocks have been straight, so this is something new. 184015 I gave it 3/16 cast-off, and 1/8” cant or toe out. Works well...

    With that done, it’s into the fun bit! Turned a blank of walnut into a garage full of shavings! 183999 Buttstock end shaped, and looking really good. Grip felt perfect, just the right...

    Hunting season is finally here! Figured I'd share some of my adventures this fall, starting off with a pronghorn I killed a couple days ago. I've never killed an antelope with this rifle, a CZ...

    Nakihunter liked post by Happy Jack On thread : Scrap rimu projects
    Having some scraps of recycled Rimu I decided not to chuck them in the fire but make something. So here is my ammo box that holds 15 rounds (the scraps were not big enough to make a 20 round box). It...
