Beautiful rifle! Sure is some fancy lumber for standard grade. Very nice!

 

That is a CPA rifle…sorry.

 

Two of my nicer ones -- with somewhat unusual wood, American Black Walnut and Mytrtlewood (both re-stocked Brno Model 1s, one of my very favorite rifles). Both done by our own Evan Koch.

Edit: If you go to the Stock Making forum, and search for ek-marlin-424, you can find Evan's step-by-step process doing both of these stocks (in separate threads). His work is fascinating and perfection.

I love all the colors popping out of that walnut stock. The Myrtlewood reminds me of Maple. Is it as dense as Maple? BRNO model 1's are great handling and shooting little rifles. You did them justice getting Evan to make those beautiful stocks for them. Top notch!

So there are highly figured woods like those guns in the first three posts. Those guns you are posting are just straight grained walnut. I have a CZ like that and I'm not sure what causes the vertical staining of the wood. It's not the finish yet it's not figure either. I'd be interested in finding out. I haven't tried to remove it so i'm not sure how deep the staining goes.

 

Mine may not be quite as nice as some of the others but certainly not plain either. I have Doug (dbr65) to thank for the 1712 below.

Kimber 82G SSV

Remington 513T (yeah I know...ancient pic. I'll see if I can dig up a better one)

EDIT: Here's a pic I took of the 513T a couple years ago...

My 61 isn't too bad either

 

Very nice collection. That 1712 is fantastic!

 

Close as I can get, sorry.

 

 

How about interesting handgun wood? These grips are the ones that came on the gun, but I reshaped the thumb rest. It had a strange square hump in the middle ... seemed unfinished to me. So I did a little work and refinish, but no stain. I think they have a cool grain and color.

 

 

Fantastic collection. Exactly the type of stuff I search for when I am out and about at the gun shops and gun shows. You have found some very fine rimfires.

 

Heres a few. I'm working on one now that blows all these away.

 

Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the next one for sure. Great looking lumber.

 

Here is a recent addition. Kimber Super America.
When I saw the figure in the lumber , it just had to come home with me.

 

Absolutely beautiful rifles!

Love that rifle! That glossy Leupold is a perfect addition to that beauty. Very nice!

 

Winchester Model 52.

 

That 52 is amazing! Drop dead gorgeous 😍. I truly love to see that you have that beauty out in the wild and getting used on some small game hunting. Just stunning.

 

Those are stunning. You are truly gifted, sir.

 

Thank you sir. It is a fun hobby for sure.

 

Here is another one that has been in the collection for a couple years now. A fairly hard to find CZ452 17HM2 in an original CZ Maple stock.

 

One more to keep things rolling along. This one is a Browning A-bolt Gold Medallion 22lr.

 

Kimber 82 Custom Classic

 

😲 WoW 🤯 Fantastic Kimber. Absolutely love the dark mineral lines in that one. 💚 Green with envy I am 💚
Such a beauty.

 

The envy goes both ways Slappy. Wish I had your woodworking SKILLS

 

Thank you sir. I enjoy making one during the winter months to help pass the time. They make great projects while things are frigid outside.

 

Just a few of my rifles that have those wood grain "stripes" that are NOT stain or die.

Doug

 

Fantastic rifles sir! What is the rifle in the bottom pic?
Looks so good. Fine checkering on it too.

 

I have a couple that are both really beautiful wood, and both happen to be Ballard offhand scheutzen rifles in .22LR.

Very fine rifles. A lot of great craftsmanship went into those beauties.

 

Here is a CZ 452 Varmint.

 

An "in progress" Favorite stock

God Bless, Frank.

 

That is gonna be a beautiful Favorite.

 

Kimber K22

 

Fantastic. I am already a fan of the Kimber rifles but you guys with the Kimbers with dark mineral lines are making me envious for sure. That is such good looking walnut.

 

Anschutz 1415

 

Jeez , and now an Annie with dark mineral lines. You have found some fantastic looking rifles. 😍

 

Hey folks ,
I am a big fan of the old school rimfire. The ones with wood furniture. I know the synthetic stuff is the new wave and more durable and worry free , but I am a certified lumber junkie.
The look of nicely figured wood on a rimfire(or any firearm for that matter)just makes my day. I make stocks every now and then for some of my rifles and always use the best figured stuff I have available.
If you have some nice figure on some of your rimfires I would love to see them.
Let's see those beautiful rimfires! Factory or aftermarket, show'em off.
Here is a pic to get things started. These are all rimfires that I have made stocks for. The 2 on the right are CZ's with 🍁 maple stocks and the 3 on the left are 10/22's with walnut stocks.

Awesome wood.

 

Thank you sir.
