That wood is beautiful!
I also have a Walnut blank that I have been itching to start. Not as pretty as yours!
Nice pick!

FX Bobcat Wood Stock!!!

Thanks Doc. I would love to buy a Walnut blank, but it isn't available in VietNam. So, I just get what I can. They said this wood is never have termites and always have a really good smell. They use it for something antique, expensive stuff, and also gun stock collection. I don't know much about wood, so I just listen to an expert
Hopefully, it makes it here safe. Vu

Finally, the blank of wood is arrived.
After I get home from work, I can cut the shape a little bit.
The hard part is alignment of drilling the hole for the air cylinder...well I did it, I guess it should be good. By the time I sand inside the hole, it should be better.

I can only imagine the man hours put into these projects. I dabbled a bit in wood and it consumes so much time!

@NMshooter: it's okay...if people like it, they will find the way ...thank you
@Bizill: like Mike said, it is a labor of love. I guess it's a lot of time, but we always feel good whenever it's done.

Cool idea on smoothing the air tube cylinder tube. How did you bore the original hole. May have missed it earlier. Did you do it on a lathe?

I use the press drill...slowly...I mean very slow. I drilled that hole first before anything else, just make sure that I don't make any mistake after that. So, after that hole, I can align the rest of the gun.

I got a few coats of tru oil on and wet sanding between. I put 3 of the stocks together to show you the comparison. I will keep the one I just make, the other 2 will be up for sale.
I'm going to put a few more coat of oil, just like the shinny
I hope you guys enjoy it!!!
