Go ahead and finish shaping.

Hopefully you laid your boards carefully and kept the mates for the butt.

Very cool! You're definitely a true craftsman.
Thanks for sharing Roy!

Thanks and having fun doing it, I'm going to build a F Class stock for a very good friend using only band saw and hand tools, DIY guys might want to follow that one.

Will that type of wood make light varmint?

No, very dense and heavy

Thanks, that was my assumption.

Make sure to layout the butt alignment carefully, and dont over clamp...

May as well put the end cap on now, stretchy tape works well.

I am humbly following along, simply amazed at the craftsmanship.

At the risk of fully disclosing my ignorance, what is the piece on the right in this photo?

You hand tool guys, make sure you scribe your layout lines while the butt is square and parallel. I went ahead and roughed the TV side in, be careful not to remove th scribed line.

 

[Roy H]

Some pics.

This is the layout for the butt, I used a low angle smoother and a spokeshave.

 

[Roy H]

Again have be careful not to take your scribe line off.. that's what the diagonal lines are for to follow your progress.

 

[Roy H]

All roughed in.

@Roy H

This is a super cool thread, thanks.

I have a nice little wood shop, and love to make sawdust...... sometimes I actually make stuff that is nice enough that it gets to come in the house!!!!
What you have here in this thread is pure art.




This photo in particular, is really something.
Thanks
