Laminated Cherry stock for a Winchester M-70

Project by HalDougherty posted 131 days ago 976 views 0 times favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This stock was carved from a laminated cherry blank. The stock took about an hour to carve and another hour to sand out the router marks. The forend design was inspired by a Cooper M21. The stock has a coat of tung oil and I’ll rub it out with 0000 stainless steel wool when it’s dry to the touch. Right now it’s almost as light as maple, I can’t wait and see the final dark color of the cherry.

I make stocks for Remington, Winchester, Savage, Mauser 98, & Mauser 96. I’ve got two stocks to carve tomorrow for Savage Short action varmint rifles. One is laminated with english walnut on the outside and two strips of black cherry and a center strip of walnut. The other is dark marble walnut on the outside with a tiger maple core.

How much would a stock for a Kimber M84 cost? Are they free floated and glass beded?

I said it not too long ago, and I will say it again…..fantastic work!!! I really think you nailed it with the Cooper forend design. It just looks solid, I can you sub-MOA in its near future.

Sorry, I don’t have a pattern for a Kimber. I usually sell my stocks in unfinished condition. 90% of my customers are gunsmiths. Tomorrow, I’m sawing lumber for more stocks. I’ve got some cherry crotches that I can’t wait to see what is inside the log!

I have a sizable collection of Winchester Model 70’s, pre and post ‘64, safari grade, super grade, normal use, commemorative and collector pieces.

One of my favorite things on this earth is a Mod. 70 wearing a beautiful piece of hand crafted wood…like the ones you show here at Lumberjocks.

Great job!

Great job, your stocks always turn out very nice. I would love to find a local stock carver to team up with. I to love to see stocks made from hand crafted quality wood. Please keep posting your projects.
