 CUSTOMIZED GUNSTOCK CARVING

.44 cal Golden Boy made by Henry. The gun will have the basket weave and a rope carved into. Giving this customized gunstock carving a unique flare. This will be another christmas gift for the owner. The rope will be a challenge to design it and then carve it. I am excited to see how this gun will turn out. I have had the opportunity to carve a gun for three of the four men in this family. Each have incorporated their version of the families brand. Each has the basket weave, their brand and then something different just to keep the gun original and the design unique. Each carving has been put on a Golden Boy rifle. I’m sure this gun will be handed down from generation to generation.

CUSTOM GUNSTOCK CARVING

Sorry to say, this gun will not be carved. The pattern the customer had choosen would not fit on the gun. So we have elected not to carve the gun. We’ll wait and carve a rifle for their anniversary instead. This will give the customer time to design a custom gunstock carving.

With the snow here and more to come, I’m glad I can stay in out of the cold and enjoy another custom gunstock carving. The gun I am building a pattern for is an Thompson Center Encore pistol. This gun will be a christmas gift from his wife and children.

CUSTOM .22 Cal Golden Boy

Here is a little history of behind this custom .22 cal golden boy gun I have carved.

In the area where I live. The ranchers still use brands to identify their cattle. It seems like they will brand almost everything they own. There are homes that have walls dedicated to the brands handed down through the years from generation to generation. The brand will be changed slightly from the original design to indicate the  current owner of the ranch.

 This gun is no different. The owners daughter brought the gun to me and asked if I could create a design using this farmers particular brand. I have used the high speed Paragrave tool to sculpt and carve this design. The carved basket weave, on the forend of the gun, wraps around to the other side making it possible to grip the gun better. This gun will be given back tothe owner as a Christmas present from his daughters.
