Starting to take shape, looking good. I have seen some of your other work and I know this is going to look good too.

Good Luck and Good Shooting

The first three were from saturday and last three were from sunday. I am a couple of work sessions away from getting the buttstock its first coat of tung oil finish. Then I will let it dry for a few weeks while I begin the full length forearm.
here is another picture from Sunday.

Good work!  That style is not easy to execute and have a pleasing overall look.   I am really looking forward to your full length forearm.  Good pictures, great work.  Piney Creek

Some more progress this past Saturday and Sunday. It is starting to look like a real stock now. My model is in grey.
