Thread: Walnut stock build (done the traditional way)

always wanted to build one, now i know where to put the tung oil

Getting close now. Hopefully just another hour or so of sanding and then we get to really see the grain when the sealer goes on

Nah, wooden fit!

Sanding completed, and first coat of sealer applied. Can now see the contrast and true colour of this piece. There are a few highlights lurking in the wood, which will show up nicely once all the finish is applied.

Next update will be when it’s checkered and finished. Then it’s up for sale.

Wow.

Bloody beautiful….. we’ll done

Beautiful job mate you have got the skills and a good eye for form and details

Wicked !! A few hours gone into that !!!

Yep, 96.5 hours to be exact. That cheek piece added at least 15 hours to the total alone. Interesting that we riflemen put so much emphasis on something that is basically 90% aesthetics!
If I’m building a functional field focused stock for myself, a cheek piece is NOT a feature that I bother with.

Truly a great job done there mate.

I was looking forward to that oil going on and the stock coming alive , it didn't disappoint. Stunning.

Quick peek to keep the anticipation up….

sexual !

Yeah it’s coming along nicely. Going to hard to part with this once it’s done!

damm thats looking good
