Lets not overlook the craftmanship in this stock. Very detailed piece of work. You can see you love what you do. 8) 8) One part mineral spirits and two parts tung oil. All your trying to do is thin the tung oil. After i got the wood as smooth as i could. I lightly sanded it with emery cloth and the ...

Ape glue it is. You really are into this. Those are some great lookin pieces. 8) I used Gorilla Glue (wood) for the stock. The bow i use smooth-on its a 2 part epoxy. It needs to be in a press and placed in a hot box to set up. Here is a encore stock i made with Spalted Maple and walnut Just to give...

Hoss, I'll bet you cried when you had to put that screw in that pretty piece of wood. I have to put an accu-draw on this stock so I can shoot. :cry: I love purple heart wood. Ive used it for a gun handle on my grandfathers double action 22 short 6 shooter. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/Okie...

The Mystery member I got the wood from just said it was Soft Maple. Could you explain what Purple Hart is. I'm asumming a stain of sorts. Would you PM me on this. I am trying to decide on finish. I am not crazy about a light colored finish but it seems thats what people put on maple to show the grai...

Making of a wood stock Stage 1
Well, I finally started and I'm love every minute of it. I first made the rail channel on the stock. I used a mortise and tendon for the squared end of the channel. The rest I dadoed out. I took an oak peice the same size as the rail and got it to fit nicely in the stock channel. I then used red pai...
