First woodwork attempt, rifle stock.

[Gilogrt]

Cut 2 trees down 2 years ago. After seasoning I finally got around to making a stock for my rifle. Cost about £50 as opposed to the £500-£1000 they cost to have one made.

Who knows their wood well enough to guess the 2 species?

amazing effort on that mate!!

Always wanted to custom make a gunstock, is that your 1st attempt???

Got me on the species tho, i'm not sure

I've got a big piece of acacia burr that i'd like to make 1 out of

Very nice job, I would stick a silencer on it though, good for game shooting and not annoying the neighbours - those PCP rifles are whisper quiet with one:thumbup:

 

Got a TX200 and a S300 plus a Rowan mag on mine.

Thanks for the complements.

Is my first woodworking attempt. Massive learning curve.

Spud, got an adjustable air stripper instead of silencer. Use it for HFT comps.

 

Nobody close on species yet!

Give you a massive clue, both native species!

nice job!! I reckon one of them is Ash from perhaps a fork of the branch to give the wide open twisted grain with a clever bit of light staining? As to the other haven't the foggyist!

For an experienced maker that's a good job but for a first attempt it is brilliant. Maybe olive ash and some cherry?
