That's getting it done. 
Now add a 4th axis to machine the whole thing in one setup. lol
Never mind, I should have waited till reading the whole thing before I posted. hahaha

Chris, do some pencil sketch work on top of a photo of a Taipan what you may have in mind for a stock.
Back from some time in the Rockies and back making some progress on the stock.

First my forum ID got fubar and and has become lost in "geolocation" hell. It seems the AGN moderator email address do not get a response, and found FB was the only way to contact Michael. He was at a lost on the login ID problem and has been silent for near a week. Hope he is doing okay and life hasn't thrown him curve balls.
Anyhow until the old ID problem is solved I will us this one.
Thinking of some fall colors for the Airforce Texan.

Your wife's grandpa rocks!!
Some of my finished artwork of Airforce Texan stocks.
Playing around with some different finish technics to create a patina look with this olive colored stain.
Developing a textured finish with veining in some different colors
I'm still in love with the Green Mountain Camo laminated wood.
The mold for the recoil pads is working out pretty well.

Thanks guys!
I am working on some Airforce Condor stocks, and another Airforce Texan stock design that I am calling the 3B stock. (Big Bottle Benchrest) that will fit a 1100cc carbon fiber bottle.
I also have an Air Venturi Avenger and a friend with one that I am going to design and cut stocks for those rifles, and I bought a Umarex Gauntlet 2 that I plan on designing a stock for too. Then I have a Ruger American .308Win. that is bronze Cerakote that I have plans on designing and cutting something custom for it in a laminate with some colors to go with the bronze.
