Checkering before finishing?

The best wood I have on my doubles is this .450 no2 by Joseph Lang.



And also on my Walter Locke 8-bore.



Cheers, gentlemen.
Cal

Nice wood Cal!

+ nice thick recoil pads!

Good for a pair

My pair of 270 Wby rifles. First is a Mauser VZ24 with a walnut stock, Second is a Montana 1999 with a maple stock.

I have nothing special, but I like it:

CZ550 Magnum, 375 H&H:

A Brno 21 I am just about finished with-

I owned this once. Made by Bennie Laubscher the South African gunsmith.

It was such nice wood that I couldn't bear to shoot it. It became a "safe Queen".

My Boss however I've no qualms its odd but I don't intend to go crawling through heather with my Boss unlike with any stalking rifle.

That seems to be a problem with a lot of really nice looking rifles.

Don't see many hunting dings in them.

True. Some of mine are safe queens.
Yet, fondling is under-rated.
Can't hunt with them all. Better to put considerable wear on one or two than put minor wear on several.
But, I only hunt 6-8 days a year.
Excellent wood gentleman. Keep 'em coming please.

Could someone help me with posting some nice wood. I can't seem to get it to work Thanks...

Posting this for my friend Ed. He should be along shortly to fill in the details.

Thank you John, These are a pair of Jerry Fisher rifles I own. I've always thought that there were three elements to a stock blank; these being figure, color and layout. I think this pair, done without any stain whatsoever capture all three and when all do come together it makes for a truly wonderful sight, all the more so in a matched pair. By the way, I haven't been successful in the past in duplicating color but a friend said I should try early morning light (something to do with atmosphere filtering). Well, it worked for me at least this time as that is about spot on for color! About the rifles, Tom Burgess did the metalwork and as mentioned Jerry did the stocks. Another neat little touch is the FN actions used an consecutive serial numbers. One is 7mm Mauser and the other is 30/06. I have to admit that much Scotch has been consumed while "studying" them...

Nice.

Ed, do you know when these were built?

John

I believe around 1974 or 75

Fantastic Ed

Would you have a photo of the other side of those Fisher Rifles that you could show?

Ed, beautiful rifles by 2 of the best craftsman.

Here's a few of my nicer stocks.

Saving this one for a project...


Another one with an unknown future

New try,

Georgian Walnut blank, we got 8 only pieces from a big tree:

Love that Nimrod, who made the holster?

That flap holster was built several years ago by Sam Andrews of Andrews Custom Leather in Florida. Elephant hide makes an awfully durable holster!
