I especially like the scales in place of the more usual checkering. You have certaily increased the value of your rifle. Woody

Thanks guys

The dark areas are "dark walnut" stain. I did break it down (remove barrel) to do it and used layers of masking tape around the areas to be carved so if I slipped the rest of the stock was protected. There is no burning done, it is all carved.

I first tried doing this on a pistol grip for hubbys old .22 revolver. That one I made the complete grip then carved it with basket weave. Then I completely stripped down my very old shotgun and redid the whole thing and carved that. I will post photos of those later today for you to check out. Seriously, I love doing this so if anyone really wants something done, give me a shout. Give ya a great deal. ;D

Those scale looking carvings on the side gave me a great idea, do a snake wrapping around the stock of my gun. Hmmmm.... really turned that gun into a thing of beauty!
