CUSTOM CARVED GUNSTOCK

This is a custom carved gunstock for a long time friend. It is carved on a Remington 22-250 cal. The sceen that inspired me to carve this for him came from one of the many rides my husband and I take every weekend.

If you ever get the chance to visit the Uintah mountains in the fall of the year. You will find a serenity of peace and harmony. My husband and I enjoy going for rides in the mountains. It is a time to see the changing of the leaves and hopefully see some wildlife. One of our favorite animals is the majestic bull elk. They are usually in the rut about this time of year. Just after the bull elk shed the velvet from his horns. He will begin bugling to entice the cow elk to come to him. This is called “the rut.” The rut can begin as early as mid August to early September and will last well into November. When two bull elk want the same herd of cows they will fight each other for the rights to breed with the cows. This keeps the herds strong and healthy.

If you ever have the chance to be in the mountains and hear the bulls elk bugling. You will never forget the sound. It is the call of the wild. Nature’s way of helping animals to reproduce thus carrying on the species. We look forward to this time of year. We love to be out in nature. Looking and listening not only the majestic bull elk, but for the deer and other wildlife as well.

 Custom Gunstock Repairs

The pictures show are of the finished custom gunstock repairs. This gun had several large nicks in the stock. After fixing the nicks carved this beautiful elk scene over the repairs. You can not see where the repairs have been made. The gunstock art shows the grain of the wood and makes the old gun come to life once again. The smaller nicks and scratches are also fixed. You can not tell where the repairs have been made on the gunstock. Yes, it is more time consuming to repair a gun. Still the end results are well worth the time.

Here is a close up, as well as the full view, of the refinished gun along with the owner Dallas Jensen.
