Do it yourself Stock making thread

[ebb]

Josh maybe its time for the rest of us to gang up on Nick? You know how it is. what goes around comes around. I can remember picking up a cigarette that my dad threw down to shoot some hoops in the driveway. I picked it up and took a drag like I was going to suck it down in one breath. I coughed for 5 minutes and have never touched one since. Mom was a nurse and had seen people die from lung cancer and when it was linked to cancer by the surgeon general she became the smoking hall monitor and her and dad were done.

Almost finished. A few details then final sanding to do.
Hmmm….,should I route out the forend to make some rails?

 

[Papa Charlie]

I am no expert by any means, but most of the F-Class stocks at our matches have the forearm routed out to reduce the surface area and drag.

Stock is looking great. Will you trim the butt of the stock to match to the recoil plate or is there something else planned?

 

[joshb]

I’m making this stock for a buddy that’s bigger than most. He’s suffered with shorter LOP stocks for too long. This stock has a bigger grip, longer LOP and is longer over all in length.
I plan on leaving the step below the adjustable butt plate. The plate is sized for a Cerus stock.

Since we’re going top shelf here, I used Famowood filler and sanded the stock to 2000 grit. Then it got the first coat of oil.

Awesome stuff looks mad as

The stock got my signature Liberty silver quarter and another coat of oil this morning.

I let the stock dry for 12 days while I went to a birthday party in Texas. Before I started another coat, I sanded it with 3000 grit.

Ha! Everything in Texas is bigger. The “party” was 4 nights. We had to get there early to open the house for guests and stayed longer to shut it down.
My duties around the house have increased. This is the only stock I’ve done this summer. Don’t feel like you’re getting left behind!

From his description, you better not let him catch you!

I think you should give that talented son of yours a duplicator for Christmas. Tables are nice and functional, but so are stocks.
