I really like that stock. It has a very traditional look. The grain really stands out too!

I've never done any work with walnut, it's kinda scarce here in the south. I will have to get my hands on some.

I really like the color of the walnut. Nice stocks. Which type of wood seems to work better for you?

Are they all made of walnut?

Does anyone have pics of your custom crossbow stock? I am interested in making one for my crossbow and looking for ideas. Thanks!

Thanks for the links sumner I will give him a shout. Looks like a really nice stock. I love the wood stocks on crossbows, gives them a more traditional and custom look similar to a nicely made recurve bow. Unfortunately there aren't that many made with wood stocks anymore.

Thanks Sumner. Im kinda interested in how you made that stock. Been thinking about trying that myself. Did you dissassemble yours to get the measurements? And did you route it out for the rail and trigger assembly? I have my crossbow hanging in the garage as well. Unfortunately the western look does...

To make them ready to use after cutting them off I just tied them in position and hung them outside for about 2 months. I measured how long I wanted them and cut them on the miter saw. The insides are hollow but there is some oily stuff in there. I pushed as much out with a dowel rod as I could then...

Does anyone else have any Crossbow or Bow Rack ideas to share?

Thanks. Maybe next year I can mount a European mount to the top!

Yeah, I know the feeling. I had 2 recurves a compound plus the crossbow in the closet, it was time to make some room. hahaha. I like the broadhead design, looks like the 36th ID patch. I've been building alot of stuff out of Red Oak lately, just decided to use Pecan for the bow racks. I am planning ...

Well I made one for the crossbow but it was kinda plain without the feet and such. I'll have to think of a way to fancy it up a bit. Here's a pic of it.

Just made this Bow/Gun Rack this weekend. What do you think?

Holy Cow Ken, that thing is Huge! What are ya'll feeding them deer up there?

Got this nice 8 Point with my Exocet 200 from 25 yards using 2216 arrows and 150 grain Boltcutters. Recovery was 30 yards. I am very happy with this crossbow.
