Neat contrast, is that a Birdseye maple veneer that you inlayed?

Marlin Glenfield Model 60, interesting you choose that .22 rifle. Way way back, 30 some years ago I restocked a Marlin Glenfiel Model 25 .22 bolt action rifle. I bought a full length stock blank, i.e a rough cut hunk of wood, and started truely from scratch. I choose Birdseye Maple, hence my original question, as the wood for my project. My desire was to have a heavy, for stability reasons, .22 rifle for groung hog huinting in the fields around the home where I grew up. I look back and wished I had done some things differently. The restocked Marlin Glenfield Model 25 is the full length stocked rifle that is second from the bottom in the pic. . . . . . Glenfields are great project starter pieces.  |

Reliable, That is a cool stock. I am a huge fan of figured and burled wood, one of natures beauties is figured maple. In todays market that hunk of wood probably would have cost you more than the rifle itself. I had a thought of carving my own stock from quilted maple but when I seen the price that people wanted for a blank of AA grade quilted maple, I changed my mind and kept the original and decided to go with an inlaid accent. I was going to put paua abalone accents also but figured it would make it too gaudy. I have worked with veneer before on electric guitar bodies and for the price comparison between exotic veneers and exotic solid wood is a no brainer. Maybe one day I may pick up another old rifle and try my hand at carving a stock. Wood working is almost as relaxing as shooting. |

I'm assuming these are not collectible or "valuable" something that was would be better off as original. otherwise the workmanship is really top notch
