Bubinga gunstock
Interesting commission. The client supplied the bubinga to make a stock for a .308 target rifle. The stock is hand shaped, sanded to 800 grit and finished with 6 coats of gloss wipe-on poly. I'll give it a few more days to harden, then polish it with car polish.

Wow, very nice Alex.
As soon as that turns up at the gun club you can expect a few more commissions I reckon.Those were the droids I was looking for.

Sensational!

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Very nice

G'day Alex,
Having done target riffle shooting, how did you work out the balance of the stock?

There is a bloke in Tarzali just up the road for me who makes rifle butts.
He is actually a Gunsmith but most of his work is now just making the butts for target shooters & he sends them all around the world.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
