enamel inlay

[motordog80]

Is there anyone here who is familiar with this?  I am finnishing a stock and was interested in putting my own touches into it .

The only enamel inlay I'm familiar with is a paint applied then fired. It was used mainly on pottery and metal articles. I've not seen it done on a wood stock.. I suppose a metal stocked pistolor rifle could be done but am not sure of the process.

I make jewelry as a hobby, I have often enameled metal, both gold and silver, to do so, it is placed in an electric kiln and brought to 1800 degrees for a period of about one hour.

For some reason I don't think a wooden gunstock will hold up to that temperaturer.

I have never seen a gun stocked emnameled, but have seen a few enlayed to resemble enameling.

You could do the inlay on metal and then inlet that into the stock.

I wanted to add some glossy black lines to  a few places on the stock and forearm  any other sugestions?

Cut the lines to depth and shape, then fill with epoxy died black. The dies for several colors is available at Brownells and they'll work with most 2 part epoxy's.
