Walnut stock for cricket

Hoping to make an easter surprise, here is a Kalibrgun cricket in cal. 22, with a custom stock made by me. The stock is in solid American black walnut (we call it Canaletto walnut in Italy), a wood very common in the USA. The dimensions are similar to the original one, only 2/3 cm longer. To improve the grip in the pistol butt, I carried out an "orange peel" process and made the grooves to have more feeling with the fingers, for a safer grip. The wood is treated with Tru oil and cooked linseed oil. Beeswax as final protection. Weight of about 1 kg.

Ho costruito molti stock, oltre 20, sia classici che bullpup, ma non ho ancora precisato per lo stock della corona. Non sono un falegname; come ho scritto nella mia presentazione qualche giorno fa, lavoro nel laboratorio di emergenza dell'ospedale, quindi faccio questi lavori nel mio tempo libero, quando la famiglia, il lavoro e altri impegni presi mi vengono. Per costruire uno stock, se avessi tempo libero, in 3/4 giorni ne costruisco uno (poi ci vogliono 6/7 giorni per dare olio di lino e cera) ma costruendolo quando ho tempo e desiderio, mi ci vogliono anche 2 mesi.
 
 

I apologize to everyone for writing in Italian. Now you can better understand what I had written in the two posts.

Genesis, I hope cricket with the black walnut stock is better than Diana. The Bullpup Skyhawk is a Chinese air rifle renamed by Diana.
What I did was my free interpretation of an Eastern European manufacturer's stock ... LP Gunstocks.
I don't know if you know him in the USA.

I have built many stocks, over 20, both classic and bullpup, but I have not yet chosen which line the stock will have for my Crown.
I'm not a carpenter; as I wrote in my presentation a few days ago, I work in the emergency laboratory of the hospital, so I do these jobs in my spare time, when family, work and other commitments allow me to devote myself to my hobby.
To build a stock, if I had free time, in 3/4 days I build one ( takes 6/7 days to give linseed oil and wax) but building it when I have time and desire, it takes me even 2 months.
