Roy Hunter stocks

[muleystalker]

Thank you. I will give it a shot.
This is the last crotch walnut stock I finished(A homebuilt nerfgun for my 6 year old son).
This side looks ok, but the other side could be called a black mess.

How about some more info about that NERF gun? You cam PM me or maybe start a new thread so not to derail this one, but I think others might be interested to hear about it.

This finish may or may not end up looking like a hand rubbed oil finish as claimed, but I'll tell you what, I'd rather try to sand paper a lion's ass in a phone booth than do it again, it will add at least 1k to the stock, the rep did NOT mention that!!!

It looks fantastic, funniest part of your analogy is a lot of the under 30 crowd will wonder what a phone booth is

Yes I've used it for cabinets, I stay away from course grain woods for these stocks.
Thanks, looking forward to seeing you at TD.

11 year labor of love.

When my firstborn son was turning 6 I started building a nerf gun for him. Never finished it, and he quickly got to the age where he needed a real gun anyway. Fast forward 11 years, and my next son is turning 6. Finally finished it last night! 23 inches long. Black walnut stock. Rust blued...

This gun is going to be for sale at tackdriver when I'm done on sunday

Roy, what scope rings were you using here? Thanks

 

[Roy H]

I definitely like the thinner looking finishes, not exactly an oil rubbed look but better on these last 2. I wish this camera would show the true colors.

@Roy H
This thread is fantastic, thank you for sharing the info and pictures.

Couple of questions, The chunk of wood in the photo above, how many stocks will that make?

How would you go about building a long range stock without a weight constraint?
The craftsmanship here is truly remarkable.
Thanks
