Roy Hunter stocks

With that example, I'll be the odd one out and say I like the satin one. Both look good. Personal preference is all.

 

[SSeal]

Gloss for sure.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

I think the grain is easier to see in the satin one. I have a project I'll be working on that Roy is going to do a traditional finish on for me, to match the color cased action and rust blued octagon barrel Going for that classic look but in a modern bench gun. Really looking forward to that project.

I would really like to see pictures of that if your client is ok sharing.

any concerns with the color case hardening warping the action?

Im the client Its something I have wanted to do for a long time. But the stock was kind of the hang up. If Im doing this I am going all out. When Roy started making stocks again I decided it was time to do it. Its a long term project and I am sure I'll post pictures of the process. Yes, theres concern about the action warping. But thats nothing new. All these custom actions we have been using have warpage. Its just how it goes. If you have lug contact thats all that matters and I will make sure of that.

Satin

Someone mentioned TruOil. This is a hand rubbed satin oil finish that I did with TruOil. I’m no expert but it was fun to do and I like it.

That’s one short barrel Roy.

Haha! Imagine the fireball. Hope the finish is heat resistant. Maybe clear coat with some clear VHT used for exhaust and barbecues

 

[Roy H]

Wheeler said it would shoot.

That will be very very cool. I look forward to seeing pictures of that. What a great idea, super old school that shoots bug holes!

Try it outdoors on a cloudy day. Your lighting is too direct for such a glossy surface, IMHO. After the sun goes down but before it gets dark can be nice as well. They call that magic light in the business.

Roy, I want one like this. Lol!

That sure is a purty thang! I'm a sucker for pretty wood and that one meets my standards, easily.

Super sharp!!
What finish might this be?

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Gorgeous! Me and black have a love hate relationship, though. Lol! Love the looks but it tells on me and shows everything.
