 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.
