    Cool Gun stocks

    Can someone help me as to the procedure to carve on gun stocks. I have a long way to go but I have time to learn.

    I have been here since 2007 and I don't believe anyone ever has done a Gun Stock.... But I could be Wrong... A Few Wooden Grips.... But not a Stock.... With a 3/4 inch carving depth... On each side... I bet it is possible to get a rough shape.... The Barrel Area will need to be hand cut unless you made a Jig to stand up the stock....

    You could Trace one with a Probe..... But Lots of WORK.....

    My buddy down the Road with a Digital 3 D Scanner, Solid Works I believe is the program... That would be the way to do it.... But that is the Big Boys Club.... Sentences end in "XXX Hundreds of Thousand of Dollars.... "

    Hello in Homer!

    To add a ptn to a pattern and keep it from lowering, you wiil need a pattern that will carve "anatomically correct" in a negitive merger.
    That is to keep from carving new wood on the gunstock and still look correct.

    This shotgun alone took two scans, but the mpc fits on the card, 5000kb and will take 25 hours to carve.
    thanks so much!

    Ok Is he asking about carving a gun stock? Or carving a pattern onto a gun stock? I had someone recently ask about carving something on a gun stock and was just wondering the same thing.

    If you are wanting to carve "Into" a gun stock, it's no problem. Just use a sled. You can do a mock up with some scrap wood to make sure your set up is correct before the actual carve. The picture shows a dragon carved into a rifle stock of mine.

    Nice dragon. well done. I have carved gunstock with a ultra high speed hand piece.
    Long time and lots of work. Never thought of using my carvewright.
    I may try that next time.

    I absolutely dread the "can you make rifle stocks or gun grips" questions!

    Nice job and thanks for providing proof that it can be done!!

    I just got my machine and joined the forum. I really like your shotgun carving. Any chance you may be willing to share the program?

ID:	57522 its just a scan of my gun. I was just trying to carve on the stock. it's much to big to post here. And there is a copywrite question. Some gun makers allow use of thier logo like Browning.
