Wood for stock

[bg7m]

Here is a gunstock I made from Georgia air dried walnut, worked for me. Another Georgia walnut blank waiting to be used on something special.
I'm not expert stock maker but I dont know what the problem would be with Georgia walnut

You can get some really nice hardwood out of the runners on certain pallets. If you make it out of inferior wood all your out is a little time and its just practice for the next one. Big7 that looks really nice!

I found myself an old Mauser stock that I had already stripped. I have been staring at it and have come to the conclusion I need a band saw to inlet it and I don't have one. I do have a scroll saw, but not sure it has enough butt to cut something that thick.

I know you said ... You want a do it yourself job .... But this is ready made and be a lot less aggravation ...

Thanks, but it is a Stevens 330 SxS double barrel. That grip will not work. I wished it would though. At that price, I would have jumped on it.

I bought a bench top mill earlier this year and realized I can use it to do the inletting. Just have to move this project to the front. Just finished re-bluing and refinishing a Stevens 940 410 that turned out great. Also refinished a Savage 110 that I had rebarreled to a .260 rem. Went with a black stain on it, it is my hunting rifle. Let a bit of the brown peak through and it turned out looking quite nice.

Hunting season is pending so this may not happen this year....
