Making of a wood stock

agingcrossbower · Post by **agingcrossbower** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 9:16 pm

I am going to try to make a wood stock for my Vortex. I got the soft maple wood blank from a member who wants his name withheld because he does not want to get swamped with people who want one. He did me a big favor and if this turns out OK, will be making one for him. Anyway a thanks to Desert Rat and Bojangles and others who have shown their stocks and gave me the itch. I will post as it progresses and keep everyone updated.

Mike . . .this is the link that worked. I copied the link and put it in my message as it appears above. Then I highlighted it by dragging my curser over it while holding the left clicker on the mouse down, then I clicked on Img from the options bar. Or you can hit "Img", then paste the link, then click "Img" again.

the easiest way i have found is to copy the img code insted of the direct link. that way you don't have to hit the img button . all you have to do is copy the img code from photobucket and paste it here

cop and pasting the Img code worked like a charm for me. I posted the pic on one of my other wood blank posts. Thanks Mike

Yes,Yes,Yes, This is fun again. OK, now that we have all the pics on one post, what does everyone think. Those lines are sweet looking. I will post as things progress. Even if I fail.

Man, I'm sticking my neck out here. This blank may be just firewood.
