show us some pics. of your stock blanks , to be used by you or for sale. lots of contrast would be really nice. tired of looking on the usual dealers and not seeing what i like. thanks, D O M I T !

One of mine that IMO turned out pretty nice. The blank is from Dressels and the stock work was done by Chic Worthing.







Terry

Amazing work and great stock can you PM me some more details. Don't want to hyjack thread thanks elton

Terry, I get a 'woody' everytime I see that rifle!

This is what H&H used for my single shot rifle:



It became this:




And finished as this:

Those are all gorgeous.


Dutch

just what i like!!!! more please. anybody got something with a snoble-snable? forend? bet you guys know what i am talking about.

Stunning blank Terry!

I am so jealous.

I unfortunately don't have a pic of the blank. However I can tell you this was hand selected by Keith Stegall from his large stock pile of Tessier's French Walnut for this .280 RCBS he built.

JC

Nice wood JC.
Butch

Seriously divine
Some of the best wood I've ever seen.

Heres a stick I bought a few months back when I got to a new pile of Turkish wood before the masses. Contrast?

Oh yes....

Amazing rifles so far! Now it's time for some DIY stuff

I bought this blank from Adam years ago out of his "seconds" pile. The action is one of Italian mausers that Leagacy sports use to sell. When they closed them out I got a great deal on it. The barrel came from the land of Ebay back when you could still buy gun parts there.






Terry

I really like that one Terry.
Butch

it was a bunch of fun building. I don't use it much though.

Terry

All simply stunning, congrats to everyone!

I am continually amazed at the stunning beauty that comes from the humble walnut tree.
Every time I think I have seen what must assuradly be the most specracular piece of stock wood, another is shown somewhere that seems to make superlatives insignificent.

Thanks for the drooling enjoyment.

Von Gruff.

terry what cal. is that last one? does it shoot as nice as it looks? might make an offer.

Agreed.





I've laminated some stock blanks with nice walnut and this one tops them. The blank became a benchrest stock for a Falcon .22. This is one of the boards.



It turned out nice (Jim Peightal's handiwork):



Another nice Claro soon-to-be laminate with carbon fiber... a big blank.

My 25-06 Simillion....

My 240Wby.













It's a shooter too! First 3 shots ever produced this group using factory ammo & a dodgey rest.

There are some very nice pieces of wood shown here.

That a 30" bbl on that bad boy?

Nope, 24". Just looks long cause it's got a reasonably short fore-end. Oh, & that group didn't come from a varmint weight tube either. It's a Lilja #1 contour; the lightest contour they make!

Here's another pic of it prior to being blued.

Wish I had some pics of the blank before it got cut on.



Different light.





Again, different light.







Alan

It's pretty beat up- worn blueing, dings and dents, but it's a shooter. Second month production (Ser.# 10x) Mod 70. No blanks pics. came from Dressels back in the 90's.

Here are a few that I have pictures of on Photobucket. All of my English save the one here, the rest of the Turkish and Screwbean I do not have on line.

TC1/Terry---Man you piss me off!

1st: Is that first one you posted a Mexican Mauser?

2nd: Is that an old German/Belgium barrel on the next rifle added to the Legacy?

3rd: Don't even get me started on the wood!



This was $250 from Brian Kerr NZ Walnut:









That's my best deal on wood ever!

Here is a nice piece of turkish that made a beautiful stock. The seller used a stained finish on the blank though.









Terry

Last one and I'm out of blanks You'll have seen all these before anyway.







Terry

terry, how miny lpi is the checkering on this last one? looks like i am going to have to make my own pattern for my build and the wood is really good and can take fine checkering. i am thinking about doing 26 or 28 lpi but could go 30 or 32. any thoughts? thanks in advance. D O M I T !

FMC,

Love the rifle and the deer!

What caliber?

Dave

.270 Win.

Bottom left is a Coues deer. Other 2 deer are mule deer all shot in Sonora ol' Mexico.

Domit, keep your checkering simple. 26LPI will be nice. Checkering only complements an already good stock. IMO, super fancy checkering takes away from a stocks over all good looks.

Terry

nice wood all around.......

thanks terry! i think i know what i wont but still was unsure about lpi. sounds like sound advice.

Will be a new stock for my Husqvarna 9,3x62:

Chuck Grace just sent this to me. Will have the finished product at the Dallas Show Next week. More pics will follow.
