Title: Competition rifle stock
Post by: turmite on January 23, 2007, 02:33:50 AM

This is one of my benchrest competition rifle stocks made from Quilted Cherry. Photo 1 is the stock on the 4th axis and the second is the finished stock. Hand rubbed oil finish by the customer who purchased the stock in the unfinished state.

Tru Oil!............but it's used as a lubricant and a binder rather than a coolant! ;D

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah it's bigger. The car in the background is a Ferrari Dino, if I remember correctly. These are not mine. I just did the pink foam job for a customer. That car is based on a combination of a Pagani Zonda and a Ferrari Enzo. More of an quasi original than a replica.

Did you cut the slices first and then glue them together?

Hello Ger,

Yes, I had to slice the model, carve the edges then glue the parts like a puzzle. This was my first attempt and took forever, but I have learned a ton since then, and now things go much faster......machining that is. The slicing of the model and creation of the codes still take forever. Vetric has a software that will do this automatically, but it requires that I save all my files to stl, and I simply refuse. That makes for huge files, and hard for me to handle, so I still plug along.
