Here's my Weatherby 300 Mark V with W. German action, custom built for me in the 1960's, including a highly marbled exhibition grade Flame Maple stock. I had planned taking it on a Moose/Bear hunt in Alaska, but was customized way beyond my initial design concept with a fancy carved stock & gold inlays, ultimately becoming too "high end" to take in the field. At that point, it was put in the safe, where it remains today.

After 3 decades of stockmaking, my favorite Ruger stocks are the English walnut on my '57 .44 ....

Of a dozen or so long guns I've done, my favorite is the last I'll do, a 1926 Fox 20ga...

These are some beautiful examples of quality craftsmanship, guys. I'm enjoying getting to see them. I really like Mike's Fox 20ga and Boxhead's 280. Let's keep them coming!
