bilurey Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Weaver77, beautiful stock shaping. I especially like the angle at the top of the comb nose for the flute, it's length, depth, and the blending in of the bottom edge of the flute into the wood beneath. On my first stock, a Fajen preturned semi-inlet Classic style, I cut the top line at too steep a downward angle and ran it back too far. I then cut out the flute in a reverse teardrop shape with a definate line defining the lower line of the flute. Looked like crap. I searched thru my small collection of Gun Digest Custom Stock pictures and found a pic of a stock taken from the rear, quartering away toward the fore end, and saw that the lower line of the flute was blended into the wood beneath it so that it formed a symetrical oval cross section from the bottom line of the stock into the depth of the flute. While still too deep and too long, it was still a great improvment. I started doing drawings of completed stocks showing cross sections, and measurments. I also began buying inexpensive used or injured stocks with particular pistol grip, cheekpiece, loading cutout, ejector box shelves, ways of blending action area into pistol grip and then into butt stock lines, forend stapes, and tips. Makes the work so much better and simpler. I'll never be a Rembrandt or Divinci, but, I'm getting better at copying great work. I have copied your pics and added them to my collection of "Stock How To's", hope this is OK with you. Don't know how long you've been doing stocks but you've really got it right for "Contemporary Classic". Any chance of getting you to do a photo-tutorial of rough shaping to final shaping a stock? My wife watched me do my last stock and was so taken by it's lines she asked that I not have it sold in an estate sale after she kills me, but leave it to her. Best complement I ever got on a stock, and one of only two or three from a woman. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
