Well that's a nice wee slab of aged nz rimu :) Thought I'd go all 'native' on it this time , she's pretty hard, and with the inletting coated in 2pot it should work quite nice. If not I'll open the inletting further and use a bedding compound in top of something like knead it or liquid steel :) ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

The whole block was a leftover from the cabby's at work , they'd had to laminate an edge top and bottom to get the width they needed, I was just lucky where it ended up, top of cheekrest and bottom of grip. Not sure if it was done onsite, or prior to the length turning up Can feel the difference between them when working it, the bulk of it is old, aged well, and hard as concrete, that bit on top is hard, but nowhere near what the rest is. Seriously not looking forward to hand sanding it, that's gonna feel like going nowhere fast :) Need to catch up nunga, so you can take over on your one...... ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

Not sure how well it's going to show, but Ive started roughing the pistol grip out, with a RH offset. Still a lot to come off through the thumbhole which will alter the palm area a bit, but it's starting to look nice in the flesh Once this areas all sorted, I'll mark out and cut the cheekrest to be adjustable, and put fittings in. Then (with cheekrest removed) I'll speedsand the forend to the matching thickness before shaping it (or the trigger hole) http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/572809FC-EF5C-4233-9101-9340E895BE34_zpsdizycymr.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

bit more work on the grip area, and trigger hole forming up. Planning to cut the cheekrest and hamster areas to make adjustable, working out tge measurements now. the whoke grip area is feeling like its starting to fit well, seems to be taking forever but its a case of file and sand, try it, marked the next area and repeat. Little bit at a time, but getting it to fit nicely this way.

further shaping through the grip and trigger hole, some of the grain is really starting to raise nicely now, got a LOT of sanding to do to get the trigger hole/finger groove set it, but it will look nice when its done. The little bit thats done here was just on an hour with 60grit andva bit of dowel. fun times ahead :) ive also marked where the cheekrest wil be cut, leaving plenty of meat to mount riser post etc http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/4FC5ED3C-BB84-4DA4-BA6E-A739F4ED9AA5_zpsj7bf9y4_edit_1426848702566_zpspiu5unrb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

this ones just to motivate Paul into making his next one :) started round the bottom of the forend tonight, and thought id give it a light wipe to show the grain better.... I think this one might end up looking not too bad :) its the hardest one to photograph tho, none of these really show it right. http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/C86E23B5-E94B-4FAC-80B8-A2ACB382A8C4_zpsbyn2ahl_edit_1427014798406_zpszwmznaru.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

Oh do behave! like lightening caught in a photo, like aurora in the sky, the grain doth scream out! Looking great Brett. Will be interesting to see what effect the hard wood has on recoil. I had put a piece of self actuating tape at the back of the action and I felt that took a little bit of the crispness out of the recoil. I bedded my stock yesterday and was surprised with the minimal amount of contact the action had with the stock that showed through. Now it fits perfect. I can't help but feel bedding is the way to go, unless you have proper inletting equipment. ------------- |

Most of the recoil should be dampened by the weight, but I'll probably bed the action anyway just to be pedantic. There'll be extra weight in this as it extends a lot further forward of the breech, has its pros and cons, but for the bulk of the shots being in the free position it'll work nicely I think. ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

I have fired a few shots now and bedding is definitely a good move. that snug fit really transfers the energy, and means you have even points of contact. I know shoulder injuries take ages to heal, can you cock and fire your gun, or does that aggravate it? ------------- |

update time. Today the lump of wood had a trip to work and visited our cabinetshop. I'd marked the cuts already for the cheekrest and the hamster/knee riser, so they got seperated from the main body, ready to become adjustable :) http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/1D035F6F-2F6C-45FC-BA9F-016AA59303EE_zpsbxh3btos.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Now on this site, and known affectionately to many as "nunga" is a clever wee fella that can turn someones sketchy drawings into reality.

theres some bonuses in having the right people and equipment around for sure. I reckon these height adjusters are going to be just friggin awesome, pauly you should get a couple off Ian for your next build(s) neat design on ians behalf, allows the travel post to be able to be swapped out easily if you need to put a longer travel one on, one Allen keynand youre done. as it is it has 65 mm travel, which should be plenty If I can get some more time on it, the guide and post hole(s) are within 1mm, so just a light touch with the dremel and a sanding bit, and the back will be together. the hamster/riser I want to do on a spacer system, or something similar to the RAW one (quick release adjustable) Lets see what I can imagine up to fit there........

3 coats hand rubbed til hot and oil-sanding with 1200 grit paper. Getting there... Quite soft tho so will probably have to finish it with shellac a month or so after the last coast of BLO (to give it time to cure).

| I'd love to use Chinese lacquer, except that it's incredibly toxic. Definitely don't want that on my face! Great finish though. |

Real nice Brett. All it needs now is a 97k action. ------------- |

A few coats of mirotone oil, followed by a few coats of 15% gloss clearcoat, waiting for it to harden then it'll get polished/buffed http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/9E6FB2DD-8690-48E0-BCD9-97C7842D64EB_zpskijtlb3s.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

A bit shiny for my tastes but the shape and grain are lovely ^_^ ------------- Steyr LG110, Falcon T35, JSB 8.44 TX200, Leupold C35x, JSB 8.44 |

Captain of "team native" I reckon. Nice job. That looks really great Brett. Are you putting a hook on it? ------------- |

thanks guys, im pretty happy with how its turned out so far. Enough to say "captain of the natives"???? I think ill pass on that title lol. one of the maestro 3d hooks will be going on Paul, but theres something new in the works, keeping that for a surprise... Hoping to get some quality garage time, maybe this weekend? Thatll see it buffed and smoothed, and will drop the shine a bit, the lighting in the pic isnt the best and was making it look too "shiny" or glossy, its about the same as a standard air arms finish at the moment. More to come once it gets the action fitted :) ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.

More gun porn im afraid. The action is sitting in, will countersink the front holes in the next day or so. weight is up on the laminate one, but feels good, May add a little bit to the rear of the stock to shift the balance, but will decide after ive shot it. all in all im happy with the result this far tho. http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/brettnixon/media/IMG_267900820892103_zpsj1hwr99m.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- NZAFTA President 1st place HP springer - 2014 WFTF Worlds 1st place HP springer - 2014 Nats AA TX200 MK111, Optisan Viper 8-32x60 JSB.
