Thanks for the reply!! Never thought of the screw idea. That seems like a wonderful idea. I thought about going the Dremel route, but figured it would be very time consuming doing that that way.

Was the Dremel method any harder or did it require alot more time?

That is a Great idea! Tried to give you a + but I have to spread it around. Hopefully you get a few accuracy points from others.

65th dot from the left is a little shallow . Other than that it's looking REALLY NICE !!!!!!!
TRULY NICE WORK

Dremel method is tedious and requires a bit more patience, but in my mind offers an advantage or two. It is important to aim that burr straight down to keep it from skating across the wood. It is easier to clean palm grunge with a tooth brush since there are less nooks and crannies or porosity. Would be easy to revert to conventional stippling over the top of it if it did not turn out how you like too.

The automatic (spring loaded) center-punch...

...with checkered screw head replacing the threaded tip was an idea I had as a kid. Was actually the first gunsmithing idea I had that impressed my dad, who has been gunsmithing since Christ was a Corporal.

Thanks for the +1 NMshooter !!!
Was born and raised in New Mexico. Moving back someday soon I hope....assuming "NM" in your username stands for New Mexico... or is it "National Match"... or "Namibia Militia" ???

Thanks for the compliment on the stocks . Yep I'm like you , Dad educated...Guys who take to wood with hand tools getting scarce . Everytime I see a video with a power sander on a Gunstock I'm glad Dad didn't live to see YouTube. Lol

Here's the stock Donated by David Lee I refinished in Blue and Black that NMShooter ( Doc) bought so the proceeds would go to Silver Santas . A charity that that provides Holiday presents to elderly folks who are in assisted living. Thanks again to you BOTH !!!
