Photo/Picture Transfer On A Gunstock ?

[fsa46]

Has anyone done a photo or picture transfer on a gunstock ? After looking at many YouTube videos on the subject, I did my first one on a piece of walnut. My granddaughter lost her dog and I did the one below for her in memory him and thought it came out decent.

After seeing it, I thought this method has some potential to do on a gunstock with either scenery, animals or whatever subject matter you like.

If anyone has done this please post a picture, I would love to see it.

fsa46,

Great Job!!

In the photography world, this sort of thing is a really nice effect for animal, landscape, and nature shots.. 
You did a fantastic job, and, it is very cool that you did that for your granddaughter! She'll love it!  

Last week, there was an art/photo exhibit that I had a few of my photographs in.. 
I saw several pieces done on flat wood, leveled out drift-logs, etc. and they really stood out! 
That sort of medium is just really cool and different imo. A great added touch. 

Anyways, there are different methods used for both image transfer and sublimation.. 
It's always neat to see more uses - like you mentioned - images on gun stocks. Nice thinking!

Laser engraving / etching would work. Check some tool shops. The larger places use laser machines to mark parts

Thanks guys.

I'm going to do some experimenting on sealing the transfer that would be used on gunstocks and see the results. This method may even be used in conjunction with checkering, basket-weave and/or carving.
