Here are 2 blanks I "hacked" out today out of walnut. Gots me enough wood to cut out 26 more!!!! (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)My trusty old 15 yr old jig saw broke down on me or I would have cut out several more today.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif)Thats ok though,, I had bathroom tile grout to do. (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif) I still cant believe how lucky I got that "Matt" gave me more wood than I bought?? He gave me an 11 ft pc of Cherry that has grain figure to die for & a couple other slabs of exotic wood I never heard of?? Sapele????? Utile??? I dont know what the stuff is but he told me it would make nice stocks & I think he is right!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Matt is gonna start setting aside all the highly figured hardwoods for me as the cabinet makers dont want it. Talk about "Win-Win"!!! Im gonna start inletting tommorow with my new drill press/table/fence/cross slide mill clamp & new router bits. Hope to have a pic of Me Marauder action setting in these stocks soon!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Both will have adjustable comb risers & adjustable Morgan butt pads along with contrasting forearm/grip extensions. I dont care if I never build another house again,,, I have found my TRUE CALLING!!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-innocent.gif)LOL!! Timbo.

OOoo those are gonna be nice stocks Timmy!

Such Pretty Wood Timmy !
I just love that grain !
And by-the-by, who do you order those Morgan adjustable recoil pads from ???? I would like to order one or two myself. One for the HW-30, and the other for the QB-78 :-) I did put a decent recoil pad on my QB, and I like it very much, but the HW-30 could use a spacer and the adjustable pad, as I hold it high on my shoulder, and this changes from shot to shot at times.

That Sapele is a lot like Mahogany. If you happen to have a small chunk left over i would love would a pair of 2240 grips made from it.

Timmy
Try to track down a piece of Birds Eye maple or Burly maple. Those are always eye catching. Zebra wood Or Hawaiian KOA is another killer set. I just don't know how well they would be suited for gun stocks. Ever heard of purple heart?
-
tim buddy,.....how about a general price list for "timbo's custom stocks" ? gotta know how much to save, scrounge, pilfer, hide for a new disco stock !!

Here you go Bill, right from the source I think: http://www.morganrecoilpad.com/servlet/StoreFront
Links on the left of the web page get you to the different models.

Wow... That is a nice chunk of wood. It is going to be beautiful! In your spare time... why don't you make us a bull-pup conversion for our Marauders? Make them the size of the EDgun...
Keep up the good work!

I was only 1/16" away from getting the top main tube inletting done when my new drill press decided to "Let Go"?? I was only one more pass away from completing this procedure when the stop on the press let loose.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif) Thank goodness it happened right where I need to inlet for the trigger assy.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) This drill press will be heading back to Lowes,,, sumthin came loose inside & you can hear it rattling!! I was really ticked off as I have maxed out my line of credit & have all the router bits I need to complete the inletting & had hoped to have a pic tonight of the Marauder action mounted in Me stock blanks??(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif) Thank goodness the stock blank is still ok. Temporary set backs are expected when starting a new buisness,,, I know this. It shure dont make me happy though!! Geezzee!!!! Tim. (http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg312/Timmyj1959/001-68.jpg)

Timmy, LMK when you decide to start selling these bad boys, I'm in line.
-
Lovely wood you've got there Timmy. You're a lucky fella. In case you don't know yet, Sapele when worked and handled smells like cinnamon. Mmmmmmm.

I got all me patterns/jigs set up for the Marauder & she fits in nice & snug like factory!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif) Timbo. (http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg312/Timmyj1959/007-23.jpg)

Coming out Beautiful Timmy,keep us posted :)
-
Now yur just a gittn' it Timmy.... lookin' gun and that vise was what I was talking about. Great work.
-
Thanks for all the kind words Folks!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)Yeah Bob,, that gun vice is AWESOME for holding stocks to work on for all kinds of detail work/mesurements/ marking ect. The little drill press is working fine now on the inletting,, I have learned to drill several holes to make the router bit,s job much easyer!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)I also figured out how to adjust the cross slide vice to take out all the play it had before. I am searching for a powerfull router now as that is the way to go with a router table for the huge 1 1/4" top cut for the main tube. I have learned so many little tricks on this first stock. Once I get set up just a little better I should easily be able to cut out & inlet several stocks in a day!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) Im keeping at it!! Tim.

Ric
