The selection of wood for a custom rifle stock is mostly a matter of personal preference, although the weight of the wood can be a determining factor, depending on how the rifle will be used. ![]()
Typically the woods that I use are mostly the different Walnuts, although I have also used Koa, Mango, Birch, Maple, Oak, and others. With the advent of modern bedding techniques, the use of other exotic woods (and even some lightweight soft woods) is now a possibility. A stock can be either carved from a blank or can be duplicated.
Also, below are some of the blanks that I usually keep on hand in various woods – both left and right handed.

Dear Sir,
I just found your website while I doing my research about the Custom-made Stocks for rifles, I saw the pictures of your work, and I would like to tell you how much I like your
well- crafting wooden stocks.
Personally I’m left-handed shooter; however, I’m wondering if you do ambidextrous fully adjusted stocks to fit shooters needs, the right & left hand on the same level?
Because most likely… rifle owners will share their fun with their right-handed friends either in the shooting range or hunting seasons; therefore, I thought it would be really a great idea to have an ambidextrous Rifle.
Sincerely yours,
I have left one like right ones
I keep coming back to your site. So much to learn, so much to admire. Someday I would like to have one of your stocks fitted to a rifle action that I have.
