Do it yourself Stock making thread

And it only took about 20 minutes

That’s because you’re multi talented. Maybe you’re TRANS talented and identified as a woodworker for that 20 minutes? What would your pronouns be? I’ve been out in the sun. I need fluids!

Are the lams perhaps warped? Something looks funny here.View attachment 1709696

I have since resurfaced my jig for holding the blank. When you're working with a CNC and a blank that's 40" X axis, 6" Y axis and 3.050" Z height and off a fraction over 40" make a big difference on either end. Definitely not warped... It will shoot a bunch of cleans,
Forend meet your approval?

Haha! Most definitely meets my approval.
It's a beautiful stock, and I certainly wasn't meaninging to cast shade on your work.
My apologies.
I have made a few stocks myself, and yes, keeping everything inside the Iines is very difficult.

Anytime I feel bad about my stockwork, I look at this beauty.
Bubba truly reached new levels with this one!

Will get it cleaned up and tape removed later today.

Reminds me of a line from 'Blazing Saddles'.

'What in the Wide, Wide World Of Sports is a goin' on here?!?!?!?'

 

[ChristianSilver]

Taking it to the range tomorrow, will get better pictures tomorrow outside..
Very satisfied with the outcome, changing brands of epoxy sealer, definitely not happy with my current.

That looks great! What sealer are you using now and what don't you like?

 

[Seagull]

That looks sick wait till you start using marbelizer and mutant crystals . Its amazing what you can achieve with this stuff. Then put candy over the top and a few coats of 2pac clear
