Show me some wood!

These are nothing special, I'm trying to learn this style of picture posting so it may not even work at all.

I see one pic showed and the other is just a link, no clue what I did wrong, but a .500 batting average isn't so bad. lol

Nothing fancy here. Just a stock that I made this spring for my Ruger American Rimfire .17HMR. Stock was cut from a walnut blank cut in 2009 in CA. I will checker it this winter. I working on building my cherkering cradle now.

Pretty special that you made it yourself and it turned out really nice. I think it looks great!

Yep, I'd quit right there. Checkering is OK, I prefer nice, plain wood, but to each his own.

Nice job!

As much as I would like to take credit for it, no I didn't do the checkering. One of the ladies who has been doing checkering for Cooper rifles does the checkering for the shop I work at. She's the one who did it.
I did the inletting and the finishing.





That's the best I can do for close ups.

Thanks.
I believe it is..........or possibly more (?). I know they are very sharp.
This was an early Kimber Classic in 7 08 with a pretty nice stock. I had it rebarreled to an 8T Lilja in 243.
Accuracy is everything you could hope for and velocity with RL26 behind a 100gr. bullet is right at 3050fps.

Can you tell us anymore about it?

I bought both of those as 80-90% inletted and I shaped them and finished them. I did a little checkering on the top one a 6XC with a Bartlien 1-8 twist. I don't remember if it was Bastone.

The bottom in an English walnut with my 17-204 with a Lilja 1-9 twist.

other side of the 6XC

That is a really good looking piece of English Walnut Coyotejunki.
You did some really nice work on those stocks.
I wasn't brave enough to checker mine.
