rifle stock carving

[Glassartist 46]

I have been a professional glass engraver for 31 years ,but I have never carved wood before .I decided to carve the stock of my old .270 Parker Hale rifle after having the varnish finish stripped and having an oiled finish instead (never liked the polyurithane finish) so this is my first attempt at carving wood using the same dental drill that I use for my glass, but using small and medium tungston carbide cutters instead of the usual diamond burrs that I use for the glass.

Very nice work by a real craftsman. I can see this kind of work catching on so prepare yourself for many requests.

That is beautiful craftsmanship sir. How much would a similar design on a buttstock with a rabbit or two cost to commission?

Great workmanship! As said before, you may find you'll be a bit busier now!
