One finished, one getting close. These stocks are old Fajen blanks. They start out very blocky, but have the thumbhole relief and barrel inlet cut. The rest is pretty much up to you.

I got in to stock work years back, some were simply modified OE stocks dressed up, others were a lot more involved than that. The first few were kind of fun, but the truth is they are a lot of work. I did one for each of my kids and a few friends.

I was big into woodworking as a kid. Built some furniture in shop class. My problem was the final steps. Never had the patience for it.

Nice that you made some for personal gifts. That one looks beautiful.

As a fresh-faced 18-year-old, which was a "number" of ever-increasing years ago, I walked into the gun department of a Gibson's Discount Center in West Texas, plunked down $99.00, and walked out with this beauty, which began what I like to refer to as a life-long affinity (my wife refers to it as an "addiction") for firearms.

Behold the .22 LR Apache Black Remington Nylon 66, which I still have, still shoot, and really consider to be my favorite-ever gun:

i have the same rifle that I inherited from my grandfather many years ago. It is a fun rifle to shoot. He shot many skunks on the farm with it. LOL
