New rifle stock

[Fig]

I bought a Savage B-Mag recently. If you know anything about the B-Mag the stock sucks. I purchased a couple pieces of wood from Rubydog and went to work. My neighbor has redone several shotgun stocks and offered to help me. I am waiting for the trigger guard to come in and I still have to figure out something with the magazine area. But here it is and give me some feed back please (good or bad, I am a big boy, I can take it). I am partial of course, but not bad for my first with a lot of help.

Checkering

[Gummi Bear]

That is absolutely incredible.

Great work!

[Fig]

Thank you for the kind words. Without the help, I would probably be still cutting out the pattern.

[T-Bolt]

Awesome work!

Holy smokes Fig!!! That is absolutely stunning work my brother.... I am amazed at what you did on your first try.

I told you that radial grained Tiger Myrtle would absolutely pop.. It is a shame so many bowyers have looked past that piece of wood. Good for you I guess.

I can't wait to see what you do with that piece of burled myrtle.

Checkering

Yeah about that. I'm assuming it's pressed. How's that work?

Yeah about that. I'm assuming it's pressed. How's that work?

I doubt it. Typically done by hand with a checkering tool. You start a line and then the tool rides in the previous line to keep them all parallel, I believe.

Fine work sir. Particularly impressed with the checkering.

[Texastaxi]

You MUST share more details!

Did you do this all by hand or did you have access to a duplicator?

Regardless, that's definitely a piece that I'd be PROUD to show off!
Very nice work!

[Fla Hunter]

Impressive work.
