Hw30 custom stocks?

[Andy40S&W]

Vestlenning, nice stock!

Any tips on how you machined inletting? I've just ordered a roughed out HW99 blank from Custom stock, which I'm going to inlet and finish to suit my '30. Any info appreciated!

Vestlenning, nice stock!

Any tips on how you machined inletting?

Thanks!

The stock is made from 15 + 9 + 15 mm plywood. I took some material away from the the middle pieces before gluing it all together, like this:

Then I finished the rest of the inletting with chisels and a rotary tool.

Good stuff, thanks. It worked out great for you!

I have a nice piece of mahogany in the workshop that's just the right size...

Tempting.

Hello to All,

It was Vestlenning's HW50 that prompted me to do the mods on my HW99S stock

Have fun & a good Sunday,

Best regards

I made a stock for a hw30 for a chap on here a couple of years ago, it was made from Canadian big leaf maple which he supplied, and he wanted to finish it himself so I only have a couple of pics of it before it was totally finished.

I never got too see the finished stock, the grain was amazing so would have been really nice when finished.

Lovely, Mark. I'd like to see it under a finish. Is the owner still here?
