Re: .243 project(lots of pics)

Wow!! the tikka varmint stock looks amazing! Did you do all the work yourself? I really like the two vents in the barrel channel. It looks great Sir

Wow! I am jealous of your level of talent. Looks like you can really turn a hunk of wood into a working piece of art.

WOW" Wished I had your talent.

Re: .243 project(lots of pics)

Thats awesome! how many hours do you figure you put into getting that stock to were it is now? And also just wondering are you using mainly hand tools or are you using a mill? Thanks

 

[elk addict]

Re: .243 project(lots of pics)

A couple questions-
What kinds of wood have you tried?
What moisture content do you start with & finish with?
I'm interested in making a stock or two, but worried about long term warp...

 

[metsienmies]

Re: .243 project(lots of pics)

About 20 hours, hand tools only. Stock is birch laminate. The laminate does not need to be dried. The laminate stock is best! If only it remembers to deal with "oil".
