The stippling on the forend has been done with the same stippling that is on the grips (no border). It is quite plain and utilitarian. The original forend was missing, and the owner wanted a new one with a Schnabel.

F-Class Stock
January 8, 2010This is an exhibition grade piece of fiddleback maple. The blank was too narrow to make the 3″ width necessary for the fore end, so I am inlaying walnut strips to bring it up to the proper width. I’ll put a matching pistol grip cap on it and carve in a right hand pistol grip.

Modifying a Composite Stock
October 25, 2009This is a H&H Ian Robertson stock that I modified the pistol grip on to match the owner’s wooden stocks that I have done in the past that were Culbertson patterns with a slightly larger pistol grip. I modified the grip to make it larger, matched the color and the silver pattern, installed butt plates, removeable cheek piece, bedding for a Barnard action, and made the trigger guard. The stock is a composite stock – from time to time I do work on composite stocks, although most of my stock work is with wood. Working with composite materials stems from when I spent years building custom motorcycles – show bikes.

Moving………. Part 1 … Pratt & Whitney Lathe
February 7, 2009
Moving under any circumstances is difficult…… moving an entire machine shop without heavy equipment machinery movers is an undertaking. Sue and I are relocating to Albuquerque, NM - so far we have three pods (one and a half already loaded) and will probably need a 26 ft. truck. The pods are necessary because they can be loaded at ground level -a requirement when you’re moving a 3200# lathe by hand. Yesterday Ray Del Rio and Gary Elisio’s son Jeremy (dad was in Phoenix this weekend shooting) helped move the lathe. This is why I’m not in Phoenix this weekend. Today Mike Tuck helped secure the lathe to the inside of the pod and move lots of other stuff. Any able bodies in Southern California are more than welcome to join the fun!
