I guess I should have told ya'll what kind of wood I used. This is Canarywood.

 

That is probably the coolest rifle that I have ever seen. :t

Did you fabricate that stock yourself?


SN

 

I gotta say, that is the MOST BADASS STOCK I HAVE SEEN YET.

Seriously, I am not a huge fan of the color, but the shape is so ****ing cool.

Super job and unique,I like it!

 

I love it

 

Definitely one of a kind... I love that rich wood grain too. :bthumb:

 

Very nice! :bthumb:

 

Talk about unique! Superb job!

 

SN, yes, I did fabricate the stock myself. I used the method in the stock building sticky at the top of the page. I am slightly dissapointed with the color. I wish I had gone with some kind of clear over the natural instead of getting the brownish tone from the Tru-oil. But, thats why sandpaper comes in large packages. The teeth are actually the tips off of one of my basket rack whitetails. I used the main beams to make pens and pencils, so I had several points laying around.

You have some impressive craftsmanship skills sir, and FWIW, I can't imagine a nicer color.

that is a very nice stock It got a very excited wow from me

 

vary good job. I'm impressed and hope that mine will look a fraction as good as yours.

 

that is one very very cool looking stock!

 

Meh, My local shop has a dozen just like it for $50 or so. . .











Beautiful, just. . *sob* absolutely beautiful!
Excellent work, and I LOVE that wood!:bthumb: :bthumb: :bthumb:

 

Could you take a pic from the front (with the barrel pointed at the camera)?

 

 

Excellent stock! So did you take photos to document the creation process? How did the inletting go?

 

That is one of the coolest stocks I've ever seen. It kind of reminds me of a monster truck (the Predator, or something like that).

I love the way you incorporated the grain of the wood in the forearm, too. It really flows nicely. Some people look at nature and try to find a way to tame it. This stock is both wild and majestic, not to mention a work of art. Great job!

Yes, I did do a picture series during the build. As hard as I thought the inletting would be, getting the jigs exactly right and to Oli's specs was the hardest part. If your jigs are true and square then the inletting is a snap. I built my top and bottom jig out of MDF cut on a jigsaw.

As long as you use Oli's exact measurements you cant go wrong. I couldn't get a printer to print his drawings out to the correct dimensions, so I had to draw them all myself. With the centerline on the jig and the centerline that you mark around stock lined up perfectly, the inletting will be square. Me, being a measure once and cut four times kinda guy, had to make several jigs before I could get one true and square. I didn't do a build post since 90% of my build is exactly like Oli's post, but I can post the ones that I think made it a hair easier than Oli's. For example, I know nada about chisels and such, but I know how to run a sander with heavy grit paper, and thats what I used to shape mystock.

 

Great work!:bthumb:

 

Very creative and I love the color myself...:bthumb: :bthumb:

 

VERY creative! Nice work! :bthumb:
