Doan Trevor does beautiful hand crafted work. Mainly for us sling shooters and the F classes. Check out his work @ doantrevor.com

That said here is a pretty nice piece of Turkish walnut that I recently shortened up and refinished.

One, maybe two ahahahaha. How many do you really have? I’ve watched your work here for years, always enjoy it too. I especially liked the thread where you walked people through a stock build, that was great!

Thanks, but most of the wood I use is from my old stack. Not much fancy grain in it. Maybe one or two more:

Wow this turned into a show of top notch builds. Have to share 2 from last year. Both Cerus and FTR 308 for the wife and 6.5x47 for Dad.

Josh, what's the legal term for the vertical striping on the left side of that last stock? My No. 1 25-06 has some of that. It looks almost like a lenticular image in that it seems to dance and change depth when you look at it from a different angle...

It’s just Tiger striping in my head. Wikipedia says : “undulating chatoyant pattern,”
I didn’t make it through college so you need to look up chatoyant.
Picture a series of waves from the side and chop off the tops. That’s the grain pattern you’re seeing in the wood. Put a clear coat on it and light refracts differently as the grain changes. Guys that paint cars use flip flop to get a similar effect. Girls like diamonds.

This thread makes me feel like I just walked out of the Kriegoff or Perazzi building at the Grand American! Those are some beautiful stocks!!!

This is the prettiest stock I have. Foundation Centurion on my 22.

What color are your toe nails?

What color are your toe nails?

Not pretty, and clear coat really clings to the leg hairs.

Just borrow your wife’s razor. ...and don’t change the blade when you’re done!

She actually uses my razor, something to do with what's mine is her's and what's her's is her's!!
Speaking of her's, here is her Remington 260 VTR, gold lace and white with lots of sparkle.
