Starting the carving
This is really neat.

Nice looking work.There have been a few factory rifles that had laminated stock. I like natural wood and bluing, but have a new Boyds' in laminated blue that I really like.
I would love to have the talent you do for engraving and carving.
Thanks. Never did any carving before. I just said a prayer and went for it. Kind of a learn as you go thing.Originally Posted by fast ronnie
One good thing about turning old is you can always use that for an excuse if you mess up
I do thank you for your nice comments, means a lot.

Starting to work on the side panels. Trying to stay with an Old West look.

Outstanding, way to think outside the box. I have to ask, what caliber the rolling block is. Some great workmanship there.
Bob. Buffalo Bob.
Started life as a shot out 7mm but is now a 30/40 Krag with a 24 inch Palma style barrel.
Now need to work on loads, have some WC8772 I want to try.
Bingo ! correct, Was afraid someone would say a mouse with horns.
As far as I have am so far. Trying to decide if it needs anything more.
Suggestions more than welcomed. Checkering, basket weave etc. what do you think.
Only took me 3 months to get this far.
Maybe a little checkering on the forearm, but not too much. Even a little might take away from the great work you've already done.
Isn't it pretty heavy? I made a butt stock for a break barrel shotgun from hard maple once. Turned out to be very heavy. Ended up boring several holes under the butt plate to lighten it up.
