Can anyone help with a gun stock I'm wanting to make? I just have a 20ga my father bought me when I was little and want to pass it down to my son. I have some birdseye maple I was wanting to use and for payment I can send you a much wood as you request...Birdseye maple, Ambrosia Maple, Cherry burl, cedar burl, walnut burl, dogwood burl( just a little bit of it left)...Please let me know if you can help...

Thanks so much Chris B

PS I have the gun still together so you can probably use the old stock as a template.

Re: Gun Stock...

You would be surprised what a little reshaping and refinishing would do to make it look much better.

Any time you want to look and talk about it just let me know.

Re: Gun Stock...

I'm with Mike on this one.
A little judicious sanding, steam out any small dents, raise the grain between sanding grits, use Tru Oil for the finish, rub it out to a nice lustre with rottenstone.....you'd likely be surprized how nice it would look....
