Every once in awhile, I’ll run across a channel I’ve never seen, but have no idea how I’ve not encountered it yet. I’m a wood carver, and turner and have looked up hours of content on the subjects. Your a real talent sir. I hope your channel grows beyond your expectations.

Hi Mr Spooner. Thankyou for your footage, I really enjoyed it. I share your passion in gunstock making. I have two air rifles, that I didn't like their stocks. I made the first replacement, January just gone. I'm not lucky enough to have a workshop, just hand tools and kitchen. I hand cut all my laminates myself, each layer taking around two hours to complete. On my second build, I've got some new ideas I'm excited about, which got me down a little, on the first build. I've used walnut and Ash, they are fantastic woods to work. I'm so looking forward to shaping the stock with a rasp, files and sandpaper. It just comes to life! I'd love to send you some photos, if that's possible? I've really enjoyed your content and passion. But wishes.

Nice work. Trying to design a new stock for a .45 black powder rifle. I saw a fella who used whatever odd blocks of suitable woods left in his shop to design a stock for his hunter. He was of the power tool variety but did a nice job. By careful grain alignment, he managed to create a block pattern "camouflage" stock of sorts, that did not warp out of shape in bad weather. Just thought I would mention it as grist for the old mill. I'm thinking of bird's eye Maple or Birch.

Hey Sir, thank you for this video. It was very timely for me as I have to harvest some timber from my land in Wisconsin and want to make some use of the wood, other than burning it in the fireplace. Thanks again

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I am making a wood stock for my crossbow because i am not a fan of the polymer one it comes with. If I am successful with this project I may replace the polymer stock on my 30.06 hunting rifle as well.

reallybgreat content there. straightforward and the ease you do it look like something i could tackle, but its not that easy, im sure of that. thanks for sharing in this to us.

Cool design! Great work! Is it possible to adjust the for gun fit to an individual person with this type of design?

@ 4:10 For the glue up, just drill some holes for alignment pins in the trim parts and there will be no movement, so you can glue them all up at once.

I can watch this all day long... Very nice work 👍

Awesome, thank you

would solid cherry be strong enough without being laminated ??

thank you Sir :)

In the UK never ever use Oak for a gunstock, the tannin in the Oak will corrode steel and the steel will make the process erode the Oak. So steel and Oak never together.

I do not know about having a raised carving against ones cheek.On the outside would be better IMHO.

As a stock maker for over 30 years, I have to say this - it's NEVER good, or safe, to laminate a gun stock with dissimilar woods. Also, oak is definitely NOT a good gun stock material because it's just too porous. Maybe doing this type of lamination for a small caliber rim-fire rifle is OK but not for anything bigger. If you've just got to laminate, user similar woods - walnut & walnut, maple & maple, etc. And be sure to use short dowels to hold the pieces together. Remember that there is a tremendous amount of recoil produced by center-fire cartridges and if the laminates are not doweled and glued properly, the laminates can and will separate.

Oak isn’t used because it isn’t pretty! Maple and walnut are has nothing to do with it being porous LOL you are also wrong with the lamination there are tons of center fire rifles that are laminated that aren’t falling apart. I’ve been building space ships for 30 Years so I know what I’m talking about

I disagree with the statement that laminating dissimilar wood is inherently bad, tho I would never personally use oak/walnut just because I don't like the look. 50 years ago we didn't have TB3 glue, but we do now. A properly created glue joint with TB3 is waterproof and far stronger than the wood around the joint. As far as the people arguing about commercial laminated stocks, that's apples to oranges... They are resin impregnated veneers glued in vacuum, and resemble "wood" barely more than fiberglass layups.

I wondered what your comment meant until I watched. Hilarious!

Interesting method though missing a few major gun stock requirements such as "Drop" "Cast on or off" "Length of Pull" "comb height" to name but a few. Cascamite wood glue is totally waterproof they use it to make wood boats, Oak is not a suitable wood for gun stocks it cannot take the shock of shooting a gun and is much heavier that is why Walnut is the preferred gun stock timber with Beech in second place. A gunstock is not just a piece of wood or many pieces of wood it has about a thousand years of development behind it.

White oak is actually stronger than walnut by all comparisons. People use walnut because they think it looks better.

@@shrimuyopa8117 No they do not! Walnut is lighter in weight for its density also takes chequering to aid hand grip and if white oak is that good why do we not see more of it used on gun stocks taking in to account that white Oak grain is as fine looking as a fence post, take a look at a Turkish Oak stock blank. Now if this does not make you be quiet nothing will!! The Tanin in oak rusts steel and Iron of course guns are made of such rustable things so take your home spun philosophy and try to use it on someone else who has not spent a lifetime stocking and repairing guns.
