tinkerfive Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hey guys, the son of a friend (20 something) is a graphic artist with a laser etching machine. He is interested in etching stocks for fun and profit. He has asked me for some ideas and if I'm willing to provide any stocks for free etching practice. I have some take off stocks for the practice. My first thought was if checkering could be successfully be done with laser etching. For all I know checking may be a whole different animal from etching a scene on the butt-stock. I'm looking to you guys for Ideas, patterns, links to whatever concerning laser etching. Thanks! Looking forward to what you guys come up with.

AzRednek Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Something like an artistic American flag, eagle or a patriotic sketch of some sort. A hunting scene, deer, elk, bear etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockydog Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Perhaps some form of celtic knot panel to replace checkering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Perhaps some form of celtic knot panel to replace checkering. I like the green pattern. It would look sharp on the fore end and probably not wear down as fast as conventional checkering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan8312005 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Most of the guns I currently have were inherited from elders in my family. My brother lost a daughter a few years back and on her urn (its oak) he had her picture engraved. So I'm thinking for someone who is inheriting the gun , it could be a cool memorial to have the deceased persons picture engraved on the stock.
