Maple 22 Nosler

[MudRunner2005]

WHOA!!! You made my dream stock!!! Flamed maple! I have a few guitars with flamed maple tops, it's my favorite grain pattern.

Man, if I had the cash, I'd have you make one for my custom 700 .25-06 AI varmint rifle! With the bead-blasted stainless, that light finish with the dark grains would look awesome.

Joe, could you put a push feed model 70 300 wsm in a stock like this? I'd need the barrel reated too.

 

[Buckfever34]

That's awesome !

It's only money Mud....

Yes, I can do that for you.

This is true, and normally that's all the justification I need to buy another gun or a gun part, but hard to spend what isn't there.

Agreed.

Would you ever shoot it though? I think it would be in a display case for me lol. Super pretty stock.

I don't own anything that's "show-only" where you're afraid to even take it out of its hermetically sealed container. I'm not one of those old rich guys that has 130 year old Africa dangerous game stopping rifles worth half a million dollars. All my stuff is function over form. Everything I have gets used.

Now, i'm not going to say I wouldn't expel a massive string of 4-letter words every time I found a new dent or ding or scratch on it. But, yes, the rifle would definitely get shot.

All my stuff is synthetic, simply because I fear how lousy I would feel if I dented such a piece of art.

I'm the same way but if I ever win the lotto I'm going to have Joe build me one from the ground up on a Mod 70, or M1999 action.

With the classy and classic work he does I'd probably even dig up a pre 64 model action just to have the whole package.

Is that hand texturing on the stock or did you use a laser? I ask because it's so uniform!

That is a beautiful stock. It's nice to see some real wood out there.

Nicely figured curly Maple blank, with a little medium brown dye, ended up looking pretty nice.

WOW! Thanks for sharing, awesome wood and work

I hand stipple the stocks. I start by freehanding the border with checkering tools, then I fill in by hand.
Here's two others .
